I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Consolidated Electrical Distributors (Austin, TX) in Feb 2018
Interview
I met with a manager at an on campus hiring event. He asked me several questions about my job experience and how i could contribute to the company. The interview lasted about 40 minutes and he then scheduled me for an official interview at their distribution warehouse. At the second interview i was told i would take to placement test, on of which was the Thurstone Test of Mental Alertness, and then promised a tour of the distribution warehouse. The process took about 2 hours. The manager walked out of the building for an unknown reason while i was taking the test. I was not given a tour of the location nor did i ever receive confirmation if i would be hired or not. After three weeks i emailed the same manager and was given a brief response saying they could not offer me the position. No explanation of why i was not offered the position.

Interview
Fairly basic, asked questions more about where I see myself in the future instead of previous experience. Problem solving questions at the end that were not applicable to the role. Laid back experience, nice enough guy interviewing me
