I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at C2 Education in Nov 2013
Interview
The process took 3 weeks. It seemed smooth and pleasant until the offer letter and negotiations. They were willing to negotiate a base salary, which was appreciated. However, their offer letter/contract (that I was expected to sign) excluded some important details about the job. I even contacted a friend who has been working in HR for 10 years and my suspicions were confirmed. When I politely asked for clarification in the letter, the tone of their response was nasty and condescending. I was told that I didn't understand the conversations that were had, which was not the case. Everyone knows that the fine print is worth more than verbal details. Furthermore, their attempt to provide the information in writing was weak, as they included it as an attachment, not on their letter head, and not on the document that I was expected to sign.Their controlling tone was the deciding factor for me. I suggest that the higher management realize that an offer is meant to be negotiated and their negativity will surely chase great candidates away.
I applied online. I interviewed at C2 Education (Edison, NJ)
Interview
Super casual interview with district manager. The total interview lasted about 30 minutes. Pretty typical questions - experience, behavioral. This was 6-7 years ago- was very seamless and was offered the job on the spot.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a time you dealt with a difficult customer. How did you handle it?
The initial interview is with the Head of Human Capital. It's pretty straightforward as they just want to get a feel for who you are and why you are applying. Next will be an interview with the district manager and provides you more detail about the position and where you might be working. The final interview is with one of the executives at HQ. The interviews aren't very difficult as long as you know how to act professionally and just answer honestly.
Application
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at C2 Education (Plainview, NY) in May 2015
Interview
After applying for the position through an online site, I was finally contacted 2 months after the initial application was submitted. The interview was scheduled for a Sat, which was fine since the job has Sat hours. The interview was maybe 30 minutes and was more focused on C2 and how I could help them rather than what I had done and what my experience was. Not an issue for me, since I've been in B2B outside sales for 6+ years but be prepared if you are not adept at business conversations. At the conclusion, I was told there would be another interview next month and I have yet to hear back. in a month since the 1st interview.. Not sure if that's due to them not liking me or their unprofessionalism in not having any real follow up as it took over 2 months for me to hear anything from them to begin with. I would have figured driving out to an interview at least warranted a call back or email update on the status of the application.
At this time and based on other reviews, I'm not really sure I would consider this opportunity, even if they did eventually get back to me. Its now been over 4 months since I first applied. Too bad, I was excited about this possibility. I figured this was a nice fit for both parties, I was a teacher for 3 years before moving into the business sector for past 15 years. Not to mention my wife is a teacher in the school district the facility was in.
