I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at APL Logistics (Colombo, Western) in Jul 2018
Interview
A panel of 3 experts interviewed. It was a good interview with challenging questions for an analyst. I was asked about logistics experience and the work I did early. Many candidates were there at the interview area.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at APL Logistics (Scottsdale, AZ) in May 2018
Interview
I applied to the job and was contacted by a recruiter after a few weeks. I knew this job seemed a little "entry-level" compared to my more robust experience so I did not have high expectations from the get-go. I really went on the interview for the interview experience than anything else, because I believe every interview is key in further developing my interviewing skills, which can never truly be perfected! My interview lasted nearly two hours with a few people, which, you know, is a long interview. Longer interviews have typically been good signs in my experience - why would an interviewer (or multiple interviewers) spend so much time with you if they weren't interested in some way?! Lo and behold, I got one of those cold "sorry, we aren't interested" emails about a week later. I followed up with the recruiter to ask for more specific feedback - if there's something I did "wrong" on this particular interview, I needed to know! Interestingly, I was given that additional feedback (rare) and was told I was over-qualified. No surprise, I knew this would ultimately be the case. Nonetheless, it's still frustrating. Even though I was happy to have this interview, I do feel a little slighted - I think it should be easy to see on someone's resume whether or not they are a suitable match for the job at hand. If they aren't, why waste time on both sides by even having an interview with that candidate? It seems a little...inefficient. And, really, would I want to work at a place that appears to be fine with inefficiency? Probably not!
