I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Bridgestone Americas in Aug 2024
Interview
This was just a phone screening. Screener reached out by text message to schedule a screening. Had to reach out to the screener as I had scheduled at a specific time and there was no contact. Asked 2 questions about my past experience and then proceeded to ask about my mechanical knowledge. After those questions were done I was then asked if I was interested in a store level non management opportunity. I have been a district/area multi store manager going on 10 years. I did not apply to be an area manager to take a store level technician job. Thank of the wasted time.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bridgestone Americas (Des Plaines, IL) in Mar 2023
Interview
The process was very unorganized and they did not communicate at all. This is a computer algorithm HR. I had an initial phone screen which went very well. I was then immediately sent an assessment test to complete online. After completing the test the portal switched to under consideration. After 8 weeks I finally reached a person who stated they had chosen another candidate and I was no longer under consideration.
