I interviewed at AstraZeneca

Hiring Managers were very friendly and cooperative in answering questions to make sure I was fully aware of the role and my fit in the group. Very engaging and reassuring to have that straightforward communication.

I interviewed at AstraZeneca

Interview

Had a base level HR interview where the other person did not show much reaction to my answers so it is difficult to gauge what she thought. She dodged pretty much every question on significant detail either, so I was left with the feeling my profile was just being researched.

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at AstraZeneca

Interview

I had a phone interview with recruiter from company, a week later I was contacted to meet with two sales manager. They told me to have my answers using something similar to the STAR approach. I met with both of them the interview seemed to go well. I sent a follow up email to thank them but I never heard back. I followed up again a month later and i got a response from the recruiter of Astrazeneca that position has not been filled. I finally got my rejection email three months after i interviewed!! It was a generic letter. I think its so unprofessional to not let someone know if they did not get the job when you met with two people in person. I will never apply fo astrazeneca.

The first step of the process was completing the General Ability Test. Quite time-challenging as there are available 30 minutes for 24 questions, but online practice tests are provided. Overall, it was challenging.

The interview was through HireView. The process was really easy and understandable. Definitely easier than the actual interview in person as you could do it in your own time and at your own pace.

UX Designer and Software Engineer

Is it normal that after the pre-interview with HR, and after he mentioned I would have the first interview with manager xx, he just disappeared? I sent an email and called the office a week later but no answers from him. Is this the way KPMG recruit people? He also contacted me two months later from the day I applied.

Software Engineer

I've been on the job market for the past 4 months, facing challenges with securing interviews. I'm contemplating enrolling in Career Elevator (www.mycareerelevator.com) to refine my interview skills. Additionally, I'm intrigued by ApplyAll.com, a tool for automating job applications. Has anyone used either program to enhance their job search? I'm eager to learn more and would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you might have! Thank you in advance for your help!

Manager

Confused. Currently working for a mid sized firm with big clients but have been offered a role through my network for a relatively small startup but a with higher designation / lead role & similar salary to my existing pay. The new role is more strategy + lead but non technical while my current role is managerial level but more technical. If in my position, would you stay in your current role or take the new one?? Happy to answer follow up questions. Thank you.
