I was first contacted by an external recruiter who screened me over the phone, then I was invited for an interview a few weeks later at Alstom's offices. I was greeted by an external recruiter and interviewed by the hiring manager. The interview went well and I had a good connection with the interviewer. I have followed up 3 times since the interview, for which the recruiter has not been able to provide any news other than they are still very interested in me but are busy putting together a large scale project. I am still waiting on an answer 2 months following the interview.
