I met a senior engineer at a career fair and called me for an on-site interview. He introduced me to all the engineers and asked about me. They asked my experience during Masters and 2-year profession. Then, they asked why did I changed from mining engineer to geotechnical. They briefly described about the projects they were undertaking at that time. They said, they are looking for engineers for other branches. But, my guess for not getting an offer is 40-50% of my discussion was related to mining, and my work experience in mining, rather than geotechnical experience. Other would be due to sponsorship issues as I am an international student.

An initial phone screening followed by two other video interviews because of COVID. Spoke with Civil PE, Geologist and Principal. Overall straight-forward interview getting to know me more and what the company did. Seemed like a good company to build a career in what you personally wanted to do.
