      Engineering Interview

      Aug 10, 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Hazard, KY
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at James River Coal (Hazard, KY) in May 2009

      Interview

      The interviewer (I think he was a regional president or VP) was very laid back and welcoming. The interview consisted more of us talking about the company and the state of the industry than anything. I got a preliminary "offer" but was asked to schedule a second interview with his boss to make it official. I declined as I got another offer before then.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Do you have any problem with living in a small mountain town?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      There is a lot of activism and negativity toward the coal industry. Do you have any problems being in an industry under that kind of scrutiny?
