I had the option to meet on zoom or face to face, so I decided to make the effort of meeting face to face. In the interview was a board member, director of construction, and a CM supervisor. They each took turns asking questions including how I would react in different scenarios. The interview lasted about 20 minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you handle a contractor that is asking for a change order?
I applied through other source. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Jones & DeMille Engineering
Interview
They didn't publicly advertise they were looking for interns- ended up hearing about interviews from a friend. They didn't seem very serious about the interview. Said they'd get back to me with the results in a couple weeks but over a month later I had to email and ask about the status (a day or two AFTER a friend did the same and said they told him they already had their results). They told me they were just getting ready to inform me. I don't think I believe it, but whatever.
All in all, they are very hard to get ahold of, don't remember things you tell them, not respectful of your time, and don’t seem to keep commitments well. I have to say they seem like nice people when you talk to them and I like their new internship program where they teach, train, and show interns around the different career paths. Anyway, I easily got hired on with a better firm and found out, from talking to clients, that Jones & DeMille isn't the great company I thought it was.
