I found myself disappointed when I didn't receive an interview after they learned about my status. It's a challenging situation, and it's hard not to feel frustrated. However, I believe in accepting things as they come; it's simply the reality of the situation. Reflecting on it, I wish I had been given more time to prepare or perhaps had a chance to showcase my skills and qualifications better.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AECOM (Hong Kong) in May 2021
Interview
Filled in an online application form. Then received interview invite 3 weeks later. Interview was online with an associate director over MS Teams. Mostly a casual chat about you, your studies, interests, etc. Some simple questions related to the subject area and recent developments in the industry. Plenty of time to ask the interviewer some questions at the end. Received offer 1 week after interview.
