Library Coordinator at Charter College
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Reno, NV Jun 2011 – Reviewed Feb 11, 2013
Interview Details – I was asked to take a 1-hour "skills test" that actually ended up taking 3 hours. There were a lot of extremely advanced math questions, and I could not imagine why anyone would need to pass these questions for this type of job.
Interview Question – How someone as "smart" as me would work well with the demographic of a career college. I was uncomfortable with their roundabout way of explaining their demographic. View Answer
Negotiation Details – No negotiation. I was just offered a hourly salary

Recruitment, Then Discussed Director of Admissions at Charter College
No Offer – Interviewed in Reno, NV Jul 2011 – Reviewed Aug 2, 2011
Interview Details –
Applied through CareerBuilder. Next contacted by email to take a 1 hour assessment test online. I was then contacted by an in-house recruiter to try and dissuade me from the job, as I was overqualified. Discussed the fact that most companies will get more than they paid for due to the abysmal job market. She set up an interview with the 'president' of the online campus. I was told by the recruiter not to be surprised if the interview started to lean towards the director position (in reality, a sales manager). Met with 'president' of the online school and we immediately decided I was way over qualified for the position, but my background fit into their growth plans from a marketing and business development standpoint. We discussed a number of ideas to assist in the growth of their business (amounted to free consulting) and she would push my name and credentials up the ladder as they had an executive meeting the next day. She said she would get back to me.
Nothing......
Sent 2 followup emails outlining our conversation, highlighting areas of greatest return on investment and my willingness to assist.
Not even the courtesy of a response.
What I learned from this boiler room educational company is that they fit in well with the continued degeneration of education in the state as well as the country.

Admissions Representative at Charter College
No Offer – Interviewed in Long Beach, CA May 2009 – Reviewed Jun 29, 2009
Interview Details –
The process was frustrating. I submitted my information as requested. I then had to follow up by, among other things, calling their national headquarter in Nevada. After getting a run-around for several weeks, I was given two telephone screens. Since I made the grade, I was then given a battery of online tests. I passed them successfully. I then was brought in to the office for an interview with the Admissions Director. An interview that lasted over an hour and a half. Things looked promising. I was called in for a follow-up interview with the president. That interview started with the basic, "Tell me what you know about our company." So trite. It went downhill from there. I did not feel a connection with the President at all.
I had been told that they were anxious to get someone in the position ASAP. Everything looked like a "go." Then, after waiting for a week, I called the office to find out the status of my interviews. No response. They had highlighted in the interview how much they valued follow-up. I called again and again received no response.
I eventually received a call from the HR Manager, who was based in their Nevada office. She said that the Admissions Director was no longer with the company and that they would no longer be pursuing employment with me. She apologized that she couldn't give me additional information or feedback on my interviews.
So, after successfully passing their tests and being through numerous interviews, I did not get the job. What started as an exciting venture ended as an experience which left a sour taste in my mouth.
