I was refered to the position, and it took a few weeks for someone to get back to me. When they did, they said that they believed another poisition would be a better fit. I took a look at the job description and let them know that I was interested. They set up a phone interview, and i thought it went well. I hadn't heard back for over a month, so I sent an email to the recruiter for any status/info about what was going on and nothing. Waited a week (assumed they were on vacation), and sent another email. Again, no response. I'm assuming I didn't do well enough to move on to the next phase in the process, however it would've been nice if they had the courtesy to send an email to let me know that I wasn't the right fit. It just annoys me that they ghosted me, and just left me in limbo!

Easy questions about my skills and salary expectations. Since my current skills didn't align with the job description, the interviewer was interested to know why I would be looking for a job in a different field.

Interview requires face to face interview but one person is on video conference. Interview time limit one hour. 48 minutes of interview focused on STAR interview questions - behavioral assessment. Interviewees are not the supervisors or in the department you are interviewing for. Comments forthcoming from an extremely seasoned professional in this business, as an employee and manager. Take aways. 1) If you are an external candidate and applying for anything other than call center or field tech, 90% of the time you have been interviewed to meet HR's required number of external candidates. Cox promotes from within. 2) A face to face interview with a teleconference without potential immediate supervisors means there is a reason you need to be seen - implications here speak for themselves. 3) Other than HR and three minutes in the beginning of the interview, there is no focus on your work experience and skills. The STAR interview process is a tool that assists in determining a candidate's interpersonal skills and work habits. 48 minutes out of 60 minutes, 80% of the interview being STAR focused and not skill focused, sends a message that skill is not the primary objective in the hiring process. In most high level organizations in this industry, the STAR process weighs no more than 20% of the interview score. The implication here is that the emphasis is how a candidate fits into the position as a person and not an employee. 4) If you have multiple interview opportunities with multiple companies, this information should be helpful to allow you to prioritize.
