      Buyer Interview

      24 Feb 2010
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Minneapolis, MN
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at UNFI (Minneapolis, MN) in Oct 2009

      Interview

      The first interview is cake, it really consists of just walking a hr generalist through your resume and answering a few situational (STAR type) questions - this portion is on the phone. The second interview was all situational questions and then an opportunity to ask questions about the company.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at UNFI

      Interview

      Had a phone interview with a recruiter. Was told I’d hear back within two days from someone in the department for a second interview. Waited a week and emailed the recruiter twice asking about any update and never heard back. It’s been almost a month now with no communication. At least send out a canned email saying I didn’t get the job.
