Interview
During my initial entry, the interview process was great. Consistent follow ups and I didn’t have to pry to get information. With this being said, I applied to another position internally, and had to fight like hell to get an update. To which I finally contacted the recruiter for the role to learn I had not been selected, although workday still showed I was in process.

I applied online. I interviewed at United Rentals (Jessup, MD) in Nov 2025
Interview
Phone interview. Basic rundown of job duties and responsibilities. Not too many questions about yourself, I’m assuming they save that for later in the interview process. Overall one of the easier phone interviews.
