No Offer – Interviewed in Northridge, CA – Reviewed Mar 22, 2013

Interview Details – They sent me an email to do a long assessment and background check before an interview was even set up. I did a phone interview and two face to face and was never even called back with a rejection. I found them to be extremely unprofessional.

Interview Question – They did most of the talking and expected me to ask many questions. They wanted someone with a sales background but then gave me a hard time about it.   Answer Question

Admissions Representative at Everest College

No Offer – Interviewed in Seattle, WA Oct 2012 – Reviewed Nov 10, 2012

Interview Details – The first step was a pretty basic phone interview which lasted about 10 minutes. I was asked general questions like why I thought I would be a good fit, what my availability was, etc. I was then asked to come on for a group interview, which took about one hour and consisted of a panel of four managers asking four candidates to answer questions regarding our work history as well as how we might handle situations in the admin position. About a week later I was called by the hiring manager and asked to come in for a one-on-one interview, where she asked a few more questions regarding how I might handle situations in the admin job. She then took me around the school and introduced me to the teachers, other admin reps, financial aid reps as "who you'll be working with" and "who will help train you". I thought I had this job in the bag after that interview, but I never got a call back. I tried calling and e-mailing for an update but was never contacted. The place seemed nice and I really liked everyone I met, but I have to say that it is really tacky and disrespectful to not even give someone a "sorry we went another way" e-mail, especially after three interviews.

Interview Question – All pretty generic   Answer Question

No Offer – Interviewed in Merrionette Park, IL Aug 2012 – Reviewed Sep 11, 2012

Interview Details – Had a phone interview, then a lengthy assessment was emailed to me. The next thing I new they were checking my background and past employment history with a fine tooth comb. I passed that, but then I heard nothing from them. They told me to be patient, but they haven't returned any of my phone calls or emails 2 weeks. Too rude for me! I don't want to work for a company like that.

Interview Question – None, basic interview questions like, "tell me about yourself."   Answer Question

No Offer – Interviewed in Skokie, IL – Reviewed Jul 17, 2012

Interview Details – was called for an interview in skokie campus in april. went through group interview and then called back for individual interview. After that was emailed link to take assessment test. Then I waited, and waited. Finally, 3 weeks later I was called by a recruiter to come in for a group interview for the same position!!! When I said I already went through this, recruiter said I must already be in the system and she will contact me if they wish to continue. Eventuallly, I found out I didn't get it-but I had to email the recruiter to get an answer. They seem very unorganized.

No Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL Nov 2010 – Reviewed Jul 19, 2011

Interview Details – There was an initial phone screen which was very basic. The next step was a group interview, it seems that everyone makes it to this step. You go around and introduce yourself/talk about your background. They basically try to 'scare you out of the job' by telling you what's expected, the salary, etc. to see if you are interested. From there a 1 on 1 interview is schedule. The questions are situational, 'tell me about a time you were rejected' etc. They'll also ask why you want the job and why you think you'd be good at it. It's a standard interview really.

Admissions Representative at Everest College

No Offer – Interviewed in Merrillville, IN Sep 2010 – Reviewed May 3, 2011

Interview Details – I went through a five-interview process. First it was a group interview with several other candidates (10-12 individuals). It was very informative. The head of the Admission department was very elaborate and detailed about the duties and responsibilities, benefits, and took plenty of time to answer any questions about the position. My second interview was with the same individual, and it was another group interview but it consisted of 6 individuals who were chosen as likely candidates to move on. It was more detailed than the first interview, where the Head of the department explained the ends & outs of the company, and team. During this 2nd interview, after we were explained the duties and responsibilities, we were given 2-3 minutes to give a presentation to the Head of the department, her assistant, and the rest of the candidates on why we feel we are right for the job. After a few days or so,I was called in for a 3rd interview. I was told I would interview personally with the Head of the department individually instead of in a group setting. Instead when I arrived there,I was told I would be meeting with a panel of 6 people who comprised as the Admissions team I would have been working with. Very personable but professional. I enjoyed the concept of engaging with your possible peers. This way they can get a better feel for how well I would fit into the group. This interview took about 35 minutes or so. After that went well,I waited over a week or so later, and I was notified via email, then by phone call that I had moved on to another interview. I was told to drive 45 minutes away to meet with regional department leader and a few hours later to meet with the Dean of the College for a final interview. Two interviews with the same day or hours apart. Both interviews were stellar but throughout the final interviews there was no talk about compensation, salary requirements, etc. Just more talk about the nature of the "business" and how well do I see myself as a fit. I was told I would hear about whether or not I would be offered a position within two days from my interview. Never heard back from them. I called all the individuals I interviewed with. I spoke with the Head of the department and she ensured me that she will have a decision within the week and that they are still interviewing other candidates. This repeats for another week until I finally get the picture. I spoke with the department head one more time and she told me that I didn't get the position. I was upset after going through such an extenuous interview process but only dissappointed that it was dragged for so long without a decision being made on my employment status. I may have been insulted if I recieved a rejection letter instead of a phone call, but either one would have been better than getting IGNORED. Left a bad taste in my mouth, after spending over a month building relationships with the staff and possible future co-workers.
