Application
InterviewI applied through college or university. I interviewed at TVA (Nashville, TN) in Dec 2020
It was a very easy-going, comfortable interview. Not uptight at all. I learned that the best interviews should be looked at as a conversations and they made it very easy to make me feel as though I was having one (professionally, of course).

InterviewI applied through an employee referral I interviewed at TVA (Chattanooga, TN) in Dec 2020
Applied online with my resume and cover letter. Took EEi test first. Then moved on to the virtual interview round. Interview was only 20min long, and there was no time to ask questions. Took them about a month to get back to me.

It was pretty straight forward. I applied through my university and got a mail saying that I should call the manager and she took my interview and pretty much in a week I got an offer letter. And I went through all the background check and stuff later.

InterviewI applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TVA (Knoxville, TN) in Mar 2020
Application process was very easy, and the interview was classic behavioral questions. It was a panel of three people, including one who would have been a supervisor, one peer, and a third person from another group. They had set questions they each asked and then permitted me to ask questions which supposedly would have no bearing on my hiring.

InterviewI applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TVA (Knoxville, TN) in Sep 2018
About three weeks after I submitted my resume, I got a call from talent acquisitions to schedule a job interview. It was a face-to-face departmental panel interview with two engineering supervisors and two engineers. It was a formal (verbal) interview since the interviewers asked a fixed list of questions and interviewees are asked to respond. I thought the interview went well but I'm also aware I could have been better. Now the waiting game...
Interview Questions
- Q: Can you describe your working knowledge of electronic test equipment and hand tools normally found in electronic fabrication and test shops?

InterviewI applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at TVA (Knoxville, TN) in Sep 2018
Panel interview with several executives. The questions were very basis interview questions. Rather stiff. 2 - 3 months later and I have not received any follow up. I reached out to HR about a month after the interview and they were unsure that status of the job. I was very excited about the potential with TVA but this was extremely disappointing that they didn't care to even say they hired someone else or that the hiring process takes months.
Interview Questions
- Tell us about a difficult co-worker and how you handled that relationship.
