Uamc Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was quite relaxed, typical for this kind of role. They seemed more interested in getting a feel for your personality than strictly testing your skills. Towards the end, there's a written test. It's important to prepare for this test as your performance can impact the final offer and compensation.

I interviewed with this company on June 8th. I sent a thank you email and got a reply 5 days later. They said a family member of a teammate passed away, but they were still considering me and to hang in there. After two weeks and 2 days with no word, I followed up. They told me they hired two interns, which delayed interviewing more people, and they'd interview more the following week. I assumed I wasn't chosen and asked for feedback. The manager wouldn't give feedback, saying they were still interviewing and would only tell me if I wasn't chosen. I've given up and moved on due to the disorganization and long decision time.

I interviewed in Dec 2013 with Julie Ruona, the production manager. She seemed impressed but I didn't hear back, and my calls weren't returned. Nobody was hired then, but I followed up and got another interview in June 2014 with Shaun Owens, the branch manager. We stayed in touch while he considered candidates. I got the job offer two weeks later, conditional on passing a drug test and background/credit checks. I passed all checks and started in July 2014.

I initially reached out directly in December 2013 because I knew someone there making good money, even though I didn't see job postings. I had an interview with a manager, Julie Ruona, which went well, and she seemed interested. However, I never got an offer or any follow-up. I tried contacting her and the office admin two weeks later via voicemail and email, but got no response. I later found out the branch had slowed down, but I still thought it was unprofessional to be ignored. About six months later, I saw a posting for a UAMC Loan Officer and reapplied. This time, I heard back quickly and interviewed with the sales manager/VP, Shaun Owens. He was friendly, outgoing, knowledgeable, and confident, and I felt comfortable with him. After about 3 weeks of consistent follow-up, I got a verbal offer. Then came the background checks: proof of college degree, verification of all past employment dates and reasons for leaving, and probing questions about my previous compensation and whether they'd rehire me. HR even made me explain a minor date discrepancy from 8 years ago. I also had to pass a drug test. After all that, I received a written offer with a near-immediate start date. I accepted, and I'm still impressed by how thorough UAMC/Lennar's hiring process is, especially compared to other places where you can make over $120k without generating business. In my experience as a branch manager, many resumes are faked, so this company wants honest, hardworking, educated people. It was the most rigorous screening I've ever been through, except maybe the military.
