I had 3 interviews and multiple calls with the recruiter. The last interview was almost 8 hours long. I had to take time off from work for all the interviews, including 3 days to fly down for the final interview.
I had to take some skills tests, which, according to the recruiter, I passed.
I did not get the job for personality reasons, which is understandable. But, it was a lot of time spent trying to get the job. I feel they should have decided that earlier in the process that they didn't like my personality.
Also, one of the interviewers told me they wanted to hire me if I could pass the skills test, which I did. But, I did not get the job.
It's really too many hoops to jump through and too much of your time for just a technician job. The market is red-hot for skilled work and I was a good candidate that got passed up.
