I was contacted by a screener for an initial conversation, followed by a 30-45 minute interview with KJ Johnson. He is a kind and professional internal recruiter. I had one of the warmest and most friendly interviews I've had so far during this job search. He knows the people, the technologies, the industry, and the role very well and was an outstanding representative of the company and its culture. He was honest and straightforward about the position and what was involved.
A few days later, I was given the news that I wasn't moving on to the next stage. This was right on time. This is more respect than job seekers are accustomed to these days. It's the little things!
Thanks, KJ!
