Applied for a Sales Ops and a Product position - did not have any referrals. Both hiring Managers got in touch with me directly which was exciting. For one, was called for an on-site after a phone interview. Interview was in my sweet spot. Also did a presentation and an editing and writing assignment. I miscalculated the allotted time, and did not complete the written assignment, leaving me to wonder how it played into the decision. The presentation was well-received, got an immediate nod when I offered to email it afterwards. Really disappointed as there no offer or feedback as I would have been able to contribute significantly to this company.
For the second, I had a phone interview, did not get called on-site. The hiring manager was amazing, he was nice enough to call me in person to let me know he would not proceed and urged me to apply for other positions with the company. I thought that was considerate. I would have liked a more challenging and technical phone interview in case it helped me talk more about my core competencies.
