Since State Farm is in the midst of a growth stage they are looking to fill about 800 position in the Atlanta area; this past week I attended a career fair dedicated to filling these positions. The career fair was a great idea, however it was poorly planned. The company scheduled a two day fair but was vastly overwhelmed by the turnout. It was reported that on the first day 1800 people showed up to be interviewed and on the second the numbers almost mirrored that of the first. Attendees were made to stand in line for hours prior to sitting in waiting rooms for hours- all for a seven minute interview.

I applied online, did testing a couple of days later, recieved a phone call to come in for an interview that week, Had my interview seemed to go fine, panel with two, but still haven't heard from them Today is Wednesday, and had my interview Friday. Status of application reads that it is being reviewed by hiring manager for opening. I haven't called to check in because I was advised they would know late next week.
