I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at United Rentals (Atlanta, GA) in Dec 2011
Interview
I was first contacted by a recruiter and had a 20 minute interview. A week later, I was contacted by the BM and went in for my interview. The following week, the BM contacted me and requested that I come in a take a form of the Wonderlic pre employment test. A couple of days after I completed the test, I had a phone interview with the DM. After that, the BM contacted me and requested that I write a few paragraphs on how I improved employee morale in my past position. A couple of days after submitting my morale story, the BM called to give me a verbal offer and I accepted and a fornal offer letter was sent to me and I started a couple of weeks later.

Question 1
How have I handled unhappy/irate customers in the past?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at United Rentals in Oct 2025
Interview
I had a call with the recruiter about 1 week after applying. Pretty basic interview process. Recruiter was very nice and gave me a walkthrough of the responsibilities and what to expect daily. After 2 days, I got a rejection email late night after 10pm. I don’t know if it was a mistake or on purpose but I got a generic email saying they are going in a different direction. Seems they could have waited until the next day at that point especially since the recruiter was on the east coast which would have been after midnight their time..

Question 1
How do you think your past work experience will translate to United Rentals?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at United Rentals (Arlington, WA) in Mar 2025
Interview
My Interview process started with a regional recruiter contacting within two hours of applying. This was after I completed the online application and work habit/skills assessment portion of the process. I spoke with Chris for about 30 minutes via phone. Mostly confirming and answering questions about my work history and skill set. I was then scheduled for an in-person interview with Zane at the Arlington, WA branch. The process was general as you would expect, looking for someone that could build a new division that was launching within the region. Then I was contacted a week later for an in-person interview with both BM & DM. They made it clear that they had a couple more interviews to complete and gave me an estimated time to decision for an offer to be generated if selected. I am currently waiting for that decision to be handed down. Emphasis from the DM line of questions seem to weigh heavily on technology and the ability to utilize there system for extended periods of time approximately 70% of the job that I was going for. Both Zane and Mike were professional and to the point. Which I appreciate, since it's been over 12 years since the last time, I looked for work. Compared to the number of interviews I have done over the last few weeks. United Rentals process ranks at the top for clarity and transparency in information they have given. Chris the regional recruiter quick to communicate and answer questions. Overall, a great experience in the pacific northwest.
