Student Success Coach at DeVry University
Accepted Offer – Reviewed Jan 11, 2013
Interview Details – My first recruiter was awesome! He set me up a interview with him and then onsite. Since I got laid off, I have applied over 20 times, and have only received 1 phone interview- its horrible now! I'm starting to think they don't want former employees which makes no sense.
Interview Question – Nothing our of the ordinary. My first interview was a breeze. My onsite interview was good too. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Not able to negotiate, it was a set pay. On my interview in Oct. after I was laid off we lightly discussed pay, but they were very stern on a set price.

Education at DeVry University
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Sep 2011 – Reviewed Jun 5, 2012
Interview Details – The interview consisted of a phone screen with a Recruiter then a face to face with the Hiring Manager. Then there was an interview with the department heads I would be working with. I found the process to be extremely thorough. During the interview process, the interviewers really got a true assessment of who I am as an employee. However, I feel as though I was mislead when it comes to the opportunities and growth within my current position.
