I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Grainger (San Antonio, TX) in Mar 2020
Interview
They mostly used the star method they asked over a situational questions. Making you think that you got the job offer. Saying they look forward to seeing you up in the following couple weeks. You have to be thorough with your answers. When calling back the location to find out what was upcoming since they did not call me back their response was that the answers were planted generic when I was told by the recruiter that it was supposed to be straightforward and to the point.

Contacted by recruiter, then set up a video meeting with two managers. They asked very specific questions in regards to my resume and were looking for what I contributed as opposed to a "team" effort. Was then passed on to the regional who again wanted me to go in depth in explaining my experiences and what I have learned from them and how I utilize time management.
