It was my first interview and they were very particular about the immigration procedure because of the recent Trump statements, so it just ended in a few minutes because of visa issues. But it would be a great experience getting involved in the hiring process.

It started with a phone call with their HR department. Next interview was a 1:1 with the manager. Then the final interview was a panel with the department team. After the panel was over, the manager had a 5 minute discussion for next steps.

Behavioral

My interview experience was a bit unusual. It was supposed to be a 30-minute chat but ended up being an hour long. I suspected they'd already picked their people because when I brought up my resume experience, I was told they hadn't even read it. I enjoyed the casual chat and hoped for a second interview, but instead, I was given two team member contacts to find out more about their roles and daily tasks. I reached out to them, but never got a second interview invite. A week later, I followed up with no reply, just a generic automated email saying the job was filled. I just wish I'd known that before reaching out to the team.

Got a call like 5 minutes after I applied. The recruiter told me about the job, the pay, and the benefits, and pretty much answered everything I asked. She set me up to meet the terminal manager later that week. The manager told me about the job, which was a bit different than the recruiter said, but that's not really surprising. He then talked about the workload and my hours. He asked about my trucking experience, and said they'd train me on anything I wasn't familiar with, especially doubles. It all sounded good, we shook hands, and he said he was looking forward to having me. Two weeks went by and I didn't hear anything, so I had to chase down the recruiter. The manager apparently denied my application, and didn't even send an email or give a reason, just told the recruiter 'Passed' after they pushed him, even though the interview seemed to go well. The recruiter and I were both confused. I have a clean background and only a few unemployment gaps in my record over ten years. No idea why. It felt unprofessional. Maybe it's for the best?
