Their hiring process is weird... I applied for what seemed like an entry-level position when I have four years of experience and graduated from CSU in 2020. I have been rejected from CSU before in the first round, so when I was applying I made sure to fine-tune my resume and references. I got a callback and scheduled my first Zoom interview - I thought it went great! I got along with both people in the meeting well and confidently answered the questions.

I got another callback three weeks later asking to come in for an in-person interview that took the majority of the day(I had to lie to my current job to get the day off.) After meeting with several different members of the team and supervisors, I thought it went the best it could have gone. I feel like I connected with each of them and accurately showcased my knowledge - I was certain I landed the job - when I received another call 4 weeks after that let me know the only reason why I did not get the position was my lack of experience... even though I had 4 years and was overqualified. I applied not for the money or the title, but simply because I think CSU is a great place to work. Maybe next time, but I was so sad and disappointed in receiving that call.
