Had four separate interviews via zoom. This would have been fine, but after receiving the most generic rejection EMAIL after investing so much time in the interview process, I requested an explanation (so I could better prepare myself for future interviews). I got an equally generic "We don't believe you have enough administrative experience" email. 1) I have 15 years of admin experience. 2) If that was the case, why did I have FOUR interviews? That seems pretty excessive for someone you don't feel has enough experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Generic questions such as "Describe a time you made a mistake at work and how you overcame it"
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tyler Technologies (Austin, TX) in Oct 2016
Interview
Process took almost 2 months and didn't receive an offer. Applied online, got an email asking to do a phone interview, a week after applying. Then progressed to a online visual interview, but the interviewer was late and never sent the email link to access their video sharing program. I had to follow up 3 times to see if a decision had been made. Very frustrating and took too long.

Phone Interview:
The overall experience was very casual, and informative. The interviewer was very positive throughout the whole session. As a recent college graduate who has little work and interview experience, I found this interview to be enjoyable.
During the Phone Interview:
- Asked if I had any questions to start off
- Mainly asked behavioral questions, very simple and straight forward
- Asked if I was: okay with traveling, legal to work with any employer no sponsor
- Asked what compensation I was looking for
- Asked if I had any questions to end with
Questions Asked: (Not verbatim, but general idea)
- Tell me about yourself (will ask questions to clear any vagueness in your answer)
- Why do you want to work for Tyler Technologies?
- Why should we hire you?
- What is your greatest strength?
- What is your greatest weakness?
- Describe a difficult work situation & what you did to overcome it?
- What is your greatest accomplishment?
