(she didn't call or discuss the basics) Had the interveiw, here is the problem: Job was and still is posted for their Irvine location, I asked during the interview as the hiring manager was in San Jose and he said that is wrong, job is for the Palo Alto office, and he asked IS THAT A PROBLEM FOR YOU? He mostly asked questions about Welding and Mechanical joints, and at some point said: What was your role? Where yo ua weld engineer?? My role and tasks and accomplishments are in my resume; read it first. At the end I asked him what skills exactly he is looking for for this role; weld/joint or adhesive applications; he said I kinda like to have all in my team!!! My question: What is your timing to fill this role? Answer: ASAP. I asked don't you have a project timing or gate to meet and provide your team's deliverables, he answer, as I said ASAP!
