I submitted my application and about a week later I was contacted by the college recruiter to submit my cover letter and transcripts. I submitted the required paperwork and about an hour later I was contacted to set up a phone interview. I requested that the phone interview take place two days later to fit my schedule at the time. The phone interview was what I thought a pretty standard interview. The recruiter seemed very nice. I thought I really did very well in the phone interview. I was told I would be contacted by the lead auto damage supervisor to discuss the position further, but he was on vacation due to the Labor Day holiday weekend. I was told I would be contacted if I was selected or not selected. Before getting off the phone with the college recruiter I felt confident I would move forward in the process. She made it seem like I would get a call the next week from the auto damage supervisor. Instead I received an email stating: Your application and the information you've provided have been carefully considered. Unfortunately, you have not been selected for: Supervisor Leadership Program. No reason as to why, just a standard you did not get the position email.

Process took 3 days. They called and did a phone screening interview. Explained the program and what I could expect from the process. Asked a lot of basic interview questions about my background. I took and online assessment and then contacted to schedule a second phone interview for the next day. It was more of the same questions and he wrote down the answers. Finally, I went into the office for a role playing type of test. I thought it was a neat experience, but very ineffective to determine the candidates ability to do the job once actually trained. They give you 30 mins to read instructions regarding 10 forms on the table and then give you 5 different scenarios to complete. It is hard because you are trying to learn as you are being tested, which is why I think the process is a poor judge of capability. After running through the scenario they emailed me saying I would not go further. I thought I did well considering learning it only a few minutes ago so don't beat yourself up if you don't pass, I am not quite sure what they are looking for with this method.
