In Reply To: Downjones..that's wonderful news. I think you'll be very happy there. It is a great company. I am applying in Dallas TX (the Auto Finance division) that really doesn't have as many open positions. So it may take a little longer. But I will definitely speak wiht my recruiter and let him know my interest. Thanks again.
Message: Hey This has been the fastest moving thread I've seen on here for a while! Anyway: a) Scores matter especially on the math test. Interviewers don't always get the scores beforehand so it won't influence the interview. b) You need to pass every part of the process so a good score won't cover for a failed interview but it may make up for a marginal pass. c) Many hiring managers look at the math test as the only truly objective part of the process. Most will want to see the scores before hiring. d) For the other tests hiring managers rarely understand the test well enough to pay much attention to the results beyond pass / fail. e) My sense for hiring is that once you are "in" and have secured an offer you don't need to do the reapply thing until you've fully fallen out of the process. We've hired people in our group that have passed on other group's offers. I would chat with your recruiter and understand if he thinks you can get the job you are looking for. If you passed on a PM role because you want to be an analyst - you may not qualify for an analyst role, and vice versa. Hope that helps - I appreciate your enthusiasm Tito Happy New year
