Candidatei-me online. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Ontario Refrigeration Service (Glendale, CA).
Entrevista
Applied back in October. Process was really odd. Before I applied, I knew my experience wasn’t fit for a Senior role, but I figured to apply to get in as a regular HVAC Tech.
They had me come in for an assessment. I did it. They said if I passed, I would move onto an interview. I never got feedback on how I did, and one week later, I got an email thanking me for my interest but they extended an offer to another candidate. Odd part is 3 months later, the job posting is still up.
I assume perhaps I passed the assessment, but background-wise I did not qualify for a Senior role. Which is totally fine, but why waste my time inviting me for an in-person assessment??

Entrevista
The most random and unorganized interview I have ever done. The job post asks you to submit a resume, email them, and call them to describe why they should choose you. I received a call a couple of days later from the president and asked that I call him back. I called him almost immediately after and again the following day. Didn't hear back from him, but a few days later his assistant contacted me to invite me in for an interview and was told I would be doing an assessment. I was confused and after reading other comments/reviews here, I was even more confused because it seemed like it had nothing to do with the role I was applying for. When I arrived, they put me in a small conference room. They took my phone and put it in a sealed envelope so I couldn't "cheat" and use my calculator. They gave me a sheet with 9 math questions that asked percentages of dollar amounts and fraction conversion to decimals and decimals to fractions. I haven't done this type of math in so long and was confused as to why I couldn't use a calculator considering I would realistically use one on the job. Second assessment was 50 questions and was given 12 minutes to complete. It consisted of random English class type of questions that again, had nothing to do with HR. After the assessments, I met with the Resource Manager that seemed to know nothing about the role. He walked in and just gave me his name. He asked me what questions I had, didn't even describe the company, the role or his position. Didn't ask anything about me or my background either. It felt like I was pulling teeth to get information and when I could, I would discuss my background. He couldn't tell me anything about the role and told me my questions would probably be better for the VP, who I would meet with next. He told me what he would personally like to see happen in the company and when I asked if that would be an expectation of the role, he told me he didn't know, just that that was what he hoped the next person could oversee. He said it would be a total of three more interviews after this, which is a lot already. I asked why the role was vacant and he said the person moved out of state. I didn't believe that because I have seen the role open for months, probably since last year and he told me that they had just opened it. I walked out of there knowing it wasn't for me due to being outdated and unorganized. This morning I received a rejection email and I wasn't suprised. They should really discuss the role and expectations together before interviewing candidates.

Phone interview and then an in person interview at their office. I had to do two tests, one was math and the other was some standardized test. Did not hear back from them
