I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Crossover for Work (Río de Janeiro) in Sep 2018
Interview
I'm a senior pro with 20+ years as PM and Program Manager, PMO and sales exec, PMP and PgMP.
The process was demanding yet quite uneventful, as most people describes iT: You register for a tournament, so thatSaturday you seat for it, listen to the rules and the info.
Then you fill a mini profile and attach your Resume.
Step 2 is a quick test, reasonable.
Then you need to enter THE test, that is about really showing you can do the work. After you check the 8 questions (it took some 9 hrs to complete) the screen informs you that you'll know of Crossover in the next week.
In my case I was informed some 20 hrs after completing the test, or 17 after the deadline that I wasn't been considered for the position.
Ok, that's fine.
Just that I didn't get any feedback, so I cannot guess what should I improve. If it's a stopping issue (Like I have no experience in a specific industry), that cannot be changed unless I get that experience. But if it's a problem with the tests, well, that can be improved next time,
There's a new tournament next Saturday but I cannot attend because I should let pass 3 months.
It'd be really useful to learn where did I miss, so I know if I could improve next time or my resume, or English, or whatever produced a no-go that won't change no matter what I do.
I longed a lot for this job. Understand it's not a lovely proposal, but a harsh one. However it fits me, as I'm more concerned with delivering value and being well paid. It's not the kind you do barbecues with your colleagues on Saturdays.
