I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Labcorp (Kirkland, WA) in May 2022
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter via email after filling out an job application form through Indeed. They sent me a word document questionnaire to fill out. It was extremely lengthy and many of the questions seemed unnecessary. They replied saying that their budget could not meet my requested salary. They wanted to pay $17.92 an hour for 32 hours a week thus denying me full time benefits but not allowing for enough time to find another part time job.
