I had one of those useless phone screener interviews where the recruiter reads your resume back to you (is that Human Resources people just creating work for themselves because they otherwise would get laid off because there isn't enough to do?). The recruiter was nice, but somehow dragged up an old resume of mine in their system (why they hold onto old resumes must be an obscure legal reason) and couldn't find my new one, so he was confused that I hadn't worked in years. I felt like I was in a scene from the novel Edna's Employment Agency. Once we sorted that out, he wanted me to email him an updated resume. I did and never heard from him again. I didn't follow up because the place sounded like a burn and churn.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Total Quality Logistics (Atlanta, GA) in Sep 2025
Interview
It was a relatively straight forward interview; however, very quickly they told me that the "Account Representative" role had already been filled internally and that they were looking for a sales-focused candidate who would be willing to embrace cold-calling. It felt a little like a bait-and-switch but the representative was professional and courteous the whole time.
I interviewed at Total Quality Logistics (Tampa, FL)
Interview
Three total interviews, and one set of assessments. The first interview is a quick phone interview. The second is an hour of shadowing then like a 15 minute interview with the same person from the first interview. The third is a set of 3 assessments then an hour interview with the hiring manager.
