Envié una solicitud electrónica. Acudí a una entrevista en Uline
Entrevista
Received a phone call to set up a phone screen a few days after applying. They were very responsive and worked quickly to set up interviews, although valued phone calls over responding to emails. I had a few interviews, including an in-person which honestly was not needed during a pandemic considering it was relatively short and was an exact repeat of the phone interview. I sat in the waiting room while the person who was about to interview me had a personal conversation with another person for 10-15 min that I could hear. It seems very stable but also extremely rigid, change-averse and old-fashioned. They talked a lot about the dress code (women must wear pantyhose, for example), Bachelor's degrees required for certain positions such as sales, 6+ interviews for some positions, etc. The assessments are complete overkill - a total of 6 for me (4 online, 2 in person) - and the amount of interviews is just unnecessary. The people there seem very nice and seem to compensate their employees well. They also had great follow-through - always followed up exactly by when they said they would.
This isn’t about the interview process. It’s about the job applications. I applied for roles at Uline where I met all the qualifications listed on the posting, yet I received a rejection email within a single day. I applied again after a couple of months and experienced the same immediate rejections repeatedly. It feels like candidate experience is not valued, and the postings may not reflect genuine hiring needs.
For my first interview in over 10 years, I think that it went smoothly. However, the interviewer kept looking to the side which made it distracting and it felt like he wasn't paying attention to my responses.
The interview lasted 30 minutes. Good questions asked. Clearly looking for someone who has experience in manufacturing, which I didn't have. Seems like a decent opportunity for growth for this person to get their new Columbus branch off the ground.
