I went through a two-round interview process for the Virtual Design Construction Specialist position at Lighthouse Electric. The first round was with several current design specialists who were professional, engaged, and clearly took the time to read my resume and listen to my responses. They asked thoughtful questions, and I appreciated the conversational, collaborative tone of that interview. Unfortunately, the second round with two directors left me with a very different impression. From the moment I walked into the room, it felt like they had mentally checked out. I had to repeated key information I had already shared—including where I was from—only to have one of the directors ask me that exact question again as he was walking me out. It made me question whether they were truly interested in bringing me in for the second interview, or just going through the motions. During this second interview, I was told I would be given the opportunity to shadow the position to get a better feel for the day-to-day responsibilities. That opportunity never came, and no explanation was offered. Overall, I walked away from the process feeling disappointed and a bit misled. Advice to others: Be prepared for a bit of a mixed experience. The team you’d work with seems solid, but leadership engagement may vary. Don’t get your hopes up about promises made during the interview unless they’re clearly scheduled.
