I applied online. The process took a year or more. I interviewed at AlphaGraphics (Leesburg, VA) in May 2018
Interview
I had applied online and was scheduled for a phone interview with the owner. I was told of the position expectations and about the company. I was asked about my background and experience. I was not permitted to ask any questions as it was explained that I would be able to do that when I'd come in for an in person interview. I thought that was a little strange but they stated that as the owner, they would not be able to provide me as accurate of answers as their design team could. I was told I had passed the initial round of interviews and would be contacted the following week to set up an in-person interview. I was also told regardless of who was hired, all applicants would also be notified when the decision had been made.
Well, a week passed, and after 2 weeks, I sent an email follow-up. I never received a response. Another week and a half later, I called and was told the owner was on vacation and the interview process would resume upon their return at the end of the week. A month later, expecting the same lack of response, I reached out again via email and still received no response. Almost 2 years later, I've still never received any indication of when my interview would be, or any indication that someone was hired.
I feel lied to, and certainly don't have a favorable view of the organization after that kind of behavior.
I was asked about my previous skills at my last Sign Company. The Interviewer Valued Collaboration, and walked me through the plan for the requested position.
There was an initial interview, and a secondary walk through the location, equipment, and the projects that is projected to handle, as well as the expectations of the job.
