I was incredibly hopeful that I would be offered the position based on Geico's posturing throughout the interview process. Geico does a great job of explaining the program and getting you excited about it only to tell you that you were passed over for the program because it is competitive, but aside from that there is no more feedback. They make it seem like you have the job the way they talk to you about your responsibilities, scheduling, and such. I was very much let down because I wanted the position badly. I thought I knocked the interviews out of the park, I had the right prerequisites, and was told that people had been offered the position for less. Then when I try to follow up with those that interviewed me about why I was denied I get no response. Phone calls and voice-mail have gone unanswered and I can't help, but think to myself that if this is a program designed to help you grow as a manager then isn't feedback a crucial part of that process? Even if I wasn't selected for the position I would like to know why so that I can avoid those mistakes in the future. It is instances like this where speculation can take hold and present some rather nasty thoughts as to why I was passed over. The specualtion I have come to think on is that during the interview process I mentioned that I was gay by referencing my partner. This is of course unsubstantiated, but this is what happens when feedback is left out of the interview process. I would like to know that I was not discriminated against and that there was a legitimate reason why I was looked over. I was very much hoping to make Geico a place I called home for the foreseeable future and I hope that in the future they can remedy handling those who did not make the program. Good luck to those in the process....it is a long one!
