I applied online. I interviewed at Quest Diagnostics
Interview
I actually applied online for a different position. A week later I got an email with a link to do a prescreen. I waited a couple of days to do the prescreen. It consisted of filling out a form online (WPM, expected salary, etc) and then calling a number to do a phone interview with a machine. The machine asks you four basic interview questions and at the end thanks you for applying to said position (Specimen Technician). When the machine thanked me I was confused because I didn't apply to the Specimen Tech position but in the emails I would received from the recruiters, the correct position I was applying for was written so I thought nothing about it. A couple of days later I got another email saying they wanted to set up an in person interview but that it would take 1-2 weeks to get back to me. Just over a week later I started receiving calls from a recruiter to set up an interview. It took about 5days to set up an interview because we kept missing each other. I missed the recruiter's first call because he called at 6am and it took him the 5 days to call me back. When the recruiter mentioned I would be applying to a specimen technician position I finally decided to ask him about it and he was just like, "yeah." The next day I got an email from someone else explaining that the recruiters thought I would be a good fit for this position so they had me interview for this position. I decided to go ahead with interviewing for this position because it was still an entry level lab position but I really wish they asked me or told me first. I had my in person interview a week later. The man who interviewed me started off with showing me around the lab area. He then took me into a room to tell me more about the position and ask me questions. He was very casual and that helped me not to feel so nervous. At the end of the interview he told me it will take a week to hear back but it has been a month since the interview and I haven't heard back. I think the position is already filled but I really wish they would've contacted me to tell me I didn't get it. The waiting game is never fun.

Interview
It was pretty quick. I applied sunday night and got a call wednesday. I did the interview the next tuesday and got hired the next day. My interviewer was honest with me about the role which made the interview feel like a conversation instead of a formal job interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at Quest Diagnostics (Houston, TX) in Dec 2025
Interview
The interview process moved in clear stages. I applied in November and was contacted by a recruiter in December for a phone screening. I completed a final interview with the supervisor in January. The interview focused on my lab experience, specimen handling, and adherence to procedures. The supervisor also asked detailed questions about my college program to see how it aligned with the role. After the interview, my application went into review for several weeks before a final decision was made. Although I was not selected, the process was structured and straightforward.
