Application
InterviewI applied online. I interviewed at Jackson National Life (United States) in Oct 2020
The day after I sent in my application someone from talent acquisition reached out and requested a phone interview for screening. We set up a time, and then the day of the interview she asked to reschedule. We set up another time over a week later to interview, and then unfortunately the call didn't go through on my end. I reached out over email within 5 minutes asking if I could call her and she said that we would have to reschedule. Then she never contacted me again. A couple weeks later I received an email stating they were moving forward with other candidates. Overall, it felt like a waste of my time and communication was not great on their end.
