I applied for the full-time Marketing Communications Associate through my University's career fair. A few weeks after the fair, I was contacted by email to set up an on-campus interview with Cisco representatives. I was interviewed by two employees who worked in the Global Marketing & Corporate Communications program; the interview lasted 30-40 minutes. They asked about my resume and behavioral questions. After the interview, I followed up with a 'Thank You' email, and waited a couple weeks to hear back from Cisco. I had friends who also applied to the same position and some heard back after a couple days and others did not hear back. After a month passed, I took the initiative to contact the University Relations HR; they informed me that they were waiting to find out who will be moving forward in the interview process. I waited and waited and finally contacted Cisco after several weeks and received the same reply again; I contacted them TWO more times (with ample time in between) and received the same reply each time. After the third time I contacted them, I received a rejection email from HR within 30 minutes- I didn't think the timing was a coincidence. That whole process was about six months ago, but I recently I received an automated rejection email from Cisco AGAIN. Is it necessary to send TWO rejection emails? The HR department seems highly unorganized with their whole interview process. If I hadn't contacted Cisco about my interview/application status I would probably have never heard from them.
