I applied online. I interviewed at MetroTech Service HVAC (Schaumburg, IL) in June 2020
Interview
A initial screening via the phone, to discuss my background, skills, and the role. A second round involving in-depth interviews with key team members, management, and potential co-workers. Where l was asked about your experience, problem-solving abilities, and how I align with the company culture. Eventually a call from the HR Director to discuss compensation and start date.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are you interested in this position?
What do you know about our company?
Can you describe a challenging situation you faced at work and how you handled it?
How do you prioritize and manage multiple tasks?
How do you handle working under pressure or tight deadlines
Phone screen followed by in person interview at Baltimore location, detailed questions about technical knowledge and working with others and I thought it did well but never heard back, which I didn't like.

Interview
They put me though a 3 part interview process, with each interview lasting for about an hour.
Interview 1: Awesome interview with a very nice person who had poignant questions
Interview 2: Again, an exec level person who was nice and we had a fantastic conversation (so I thought)
Interview 3: For some reason the exec wanted me to speak to one of their clients via Zoom. It's no big deal, I've done a ton of Zoom meetings. Problem was, I literally have a new MacBook Pro and wanted to test the camera feature about 15 minutes before the interview. Test: Successful!
However, nobody bothered to tell me that my camera feature was still on the "mute" mode until literally the last 5 minutes of our hour-long meeting. It was embarrassing.
Why didn't someone tell me at the start that my camera wasn't turned on? It happens to everyone at some point. I should also mention that I was suffering from food poising the day prior.. so I was probably not on my A-Game but still. I didn't deserve to be completely ghosted but the company,
