Embedded Systems Software Developer at BlackBerry

No Offer – Interviewed in Ottawa, ON (Canada) Jun 2009 – Reviewed Aug 31, 2009

Interview Details – I had applied for several jobs on the RIM website, and I had a complete profile on RIM's taleo website. RIM HR contacted me for a phone interview for a job posting I hadn't applied for yet. The interviewer went over details from my resume, as well as asked some behavioural questions.
although the interview went well, I didn't make it to the hiring manager interview stage. I found out about a month later that I was screened out.
