I started interviewing in September and got rejected in February. Went through two phone interviews and one 4-hour in person interview I bought a plane ticket for. I felt extremely confident about how the interview went, especially since I was given person email addresses from various managers telling me I should contact them because my skills lined up with projects they were working on. I talked to the other candidates (about 60 the day of the in-person interview), and they were all sophomores/juniors while I was a senior with already two internships under my belt. I was willing to settle for an internship right after graduating college because that’s how passionate I was about HCA and the opportunities it offered. Apparently, HCA doesn’t value my time, because two weeks later I received a generic email saying I was rejected: no reason, nothing. Not even from an actual human but a computer-generated message. I guess the MTSU sophomores with business admin majors and no experience offered more than me, but I’m grateful I ended up with a better position at a better company that actually sees me as a person and not a number in the system. I guess the “highly regarded” IT Pathways program is not all they played it up to be.

First I applied through the LinkedIN jobs page. A week later I was asked to complete an on demand online interview where I recorded videos of myself answering 3 questions. Next was the phone interview. Finally on January 7,2021 was the final round interview which was conducted via Webex. I had two 30 minute interviews and within 3 days I was offered an intern position.
