Fue muy profesional. Me entrevistaron en las oficinas de Avellaneda. Me preguntaron sobre mi carrera laboral y después sobre mi vida familiar. Una vez terminada la entrevista, me dieron un recorrido por la empresa mostrándome los productos y procesos.

It was a two step process - first, an online assessment to check my cognitive ability and emotional intelligence. Then, a virtual interview with the HR rep and hiring manager. The online assessment was pretty standard, with math problems and some scenario puzzles. The interview was easy enough, mostly asking about my university degree and how I can adapt to the fast-paced nature of construction projects.

The interview was in-person and arranged with a week's notice. I was supposed to be interviewed by the Construction Manager and the Structures Manager. However, the Construction Manager didn't show up and offered no explanation, even though they could have joined via Teams. The Structures Manager, who conducted the interview, didn't even check why the other manager was absent and just "apologized" for them. They didn't show an org chart to explain where the role fit in or present any drawings of the work's scope. The questions were very generic and lacked specific details related to the role. At the end, I was told a second interview would happen, but the next day I got an email saying they weren't moving forward with my application.

The hiring process was pretty seamless. I had one phone interview and then another one over Teams. The Teams connection was solid. They really took their time to ask about my background and work history. Overall, it was a good process, though finalizing the contract took a bit longer because of all the paperwork.
