The interviewers were very kind and helpful and my experience was very good during the interview. I was told I passed the first interview and let them know I was away for 3 days. They still called me and asked me to come in, to which I said I couldn't, and they said they would arrange another date, but I never got contacted again.

I walked in and was asked to wait for the interviewer. Once they arrived, they gave me a tour of the warehouse operations and asked some basic questions about my availability and comfort level with the job. Then we moved to the office for the main part of the interview. After that was done, I waited again, and they said they'd let me know about a second interview.

I went through 4 interviews. The first one was a bust, I waited two hours and had to leave. The second interview was fine. For the third one, it felt like nobody was paying attention or talking to each other. I got the job after the fourth interview. But I turned it down because they couldn't give me a heads-up for when I needed to start (I needed a day's notice) and then a warehouse manager called me like I was already working there. They're disorganized.

  • Can you tell me about a tough situation you faced and how you handled it?
