The interview process was very standard. I had a total of 3 interviews. The first was with talent acquisition/recruiter, the second was with the director of operations, and the final was with my now direct supervisor. The first call was a very casual screening to see if I was still interested in the position after I applied on their website. Took maybe 15 mins. The second call was longer and we went over past experience and coursework, and seemed like they were gauging my personality. The final interview was in person and more directly about my experience, ability to perform the job responsibilities, and how I would fit into the team.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Partner Energy (Los Angeles, CA) in Sep 2022
Interview
The first round of interview was over zoom and it was just a basic informal meeting. The main issue and a huge red flag for me was being asked when I graduated from college. This can be taken as ageist, especially if you are transitioning from a different industry. It's unfortunate as I have followed the company for years.

Asking to tell my story, my career plans, and how I deal with difficult clients/ fast paced environment. I interviewed and received an offer within a month.
