Waterfront Restoration Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process started in mid-February and included a phone interview, a Zoom interview, and then a third interview in person, which required me to travel over four hours. On top of that, I was asked to complete a DISC assessment and provide references, which were contacted. Communication toward the end was slow and unclear. After waiting for an update, I ultimately received a generic rejection email. The third interview especially stood out in a negative way. I was asked a large number of questions, and many of them felt excessive or not relevant to the role. Some questions even focused on things from my high school experience, which didn’t seem to have anything to do with my current qualifications or the position. It made the interview feel unnecessarily long and unfocused. Overall, the process felt drawn out and disorganized and didn’t show much respect for candidates’ time, especially given the travel and additional steps required. I would strongly suggest improving communication, keeping interviews focused on relevant experience, and being more thoughtful with candidates who make it to the final stages.

I had a discovery phone call first, and then a zoom interview. They said they'd get back to me within a week after each. The interviewer was kinda friendly but seemed to be just checking boxes and couldn't answer my follow-up questions. It didn't feel like a natural conversation, and both interviews started late and ended early, which was weird.

The interview process was thorough. Timelines were always met as to when I would hear back, and communication was clear and timely. I interviewed with each person of the management team, as well as the owner of the company. I also was asked to complete personality assessments which taught me a lot about myself, strengths, weaknesses, etc.

I applied online and after a couple of weeks, I got an email to do a video interview, which was like a phone interview but on video. It had 5 questions, and I had one minute for each. Then, about two weeks later, they called me for the first interview at the actual place. It was an hour long, onsite, with the Operations Manager. The next step was another interview onsite with the owner.
