So I had my initial interview today at West Corp. I just had to speak with an HR person so it was mostly very general questions. After that, she made me take a personality test- sort of a mirror type questionnaire where you are supposed to answer how the company wants you to answer and how you would honestly answer. I only had a few questions where the answer was inconsistent but I didn't really care. The HR person said most likely no one is going to review that. Haha. I got set-up for a 2nd interview this Monday at 9:30 am. Way before my waking hour but what they hay, I need to be there. Pros-- they give 4-6 weeks training upon hiring, job description is very extensive and challenging, the office is not that far. Cons-- relatively low pay, 24/7 on-call duty and required carrying of a pager. I spoke with our friend, Toni, after my interview. We ended up making "chika" for over an hour! Haha. The last time we saw each other was last Thanksgiving and being a Technical Employment recruiter, she gave me some information about West and its working environment.
Two nights ago I got a hit from Gallup Corp. through Monster. So I submitted my resume and finished the online application. Turns out, I had to take their Talent Assessment test which would take 40 minutes. It was a timed test where you were to answer each question within 20 seconds. The next day, yesterday, I got an interview schedule for Tuesday at 10:30 am. It will be done over the phone. Joen has an officemate who tried to apply at Gallup and she failed the Talent Assessment Test. Why? Because she applied for a Technical position and her answers were like that of a manager's. So right off the bat, they failed her. Haha. I had no idea first impressions lasted THAT WAY for Gallup. These guys are huge so I'm excited.
Will give more updates. In the meantime, wish me luck for Monday and Tuesday's interview.
