Questions and Answers about Goodwill Industries

I applied for the position on Indeed. I received a call from a recruiter asking if I am interested in an interview. A couple days after that, I had a phone screening interview with the recruiter. A couple days later the recruiter called again and asked me to come in for an in person interview. I went for the in-person interview a couple days later and they asked a lot of questions about my experience and background and I also had to fill out a writing sample while I was there. They answered any questions I had and asked me to fill out an availability chart and when I could start as well as paperwork for a drug screening. The in person interview took about an hour.
