Windows Engineer at Janney Montgomery Scott

No Offer – Interviewed in Philadelphia, PA Jun 2012 – Reviewed Jun 6, 2012

Interview Details – Had a 25 minute telephone interview initially with HR who asked me to summarize my career history and ask some general soft skill questions. They then organised for the Hiring Manager to contact me with some technical questions and this lasted for approx. 30 minutes.
Next stage would have been face to face interview however I received an email 8 days after the technical interview to say my application was unsuccessful.
