I applied online. I interviewed at Quest Diagnostics
Interview
I applied for Specimen Technician I and was contacted by a Quest recruiter who set me up with an interview. When I arrived, the interviewers were not prepared for the interview and they stated that I was interviewing for a completely different position. We had physical copies of my application in front of us that stated "Specimen Technician" on them. I asked for clarification, explaining that I applied for Specimen Technician, but they kept insisting that I didn't. Even though I was completely unqualified for the position I ended up interviewing for, I was still offered the job. I tried calling and emailing the recruiter to ask about the mix-up multiple times with no answer. It was very disappointing. I declined the offer due to the company's apparent lack of professionalism and organization.

I applied online. I interviewed at Quest Diagnostics (Houston, TX) in Dec 2025
Interview
The interview process moved in clear stages. I applied in November and was contacted by a recruiter in December for a phone screening. I completed a final interview with the supervisor in January. The interview focused on my lab experience, specimen handling, and adherence to procedures. The supervisor also asked detailed questions about my college program to see how it aligned with the role. After the interview, my application went into review for several weeks before a final decision was made. Although I was not selected, the process was structured and straightforward.
