What a waste of time! I was called in for an interview. As I entered the office an unsmiling employee asked if he could help me. I asked for - - - and was told my contact would be out in 5 minutes. No "Have a seat" or attempt at friendly conversation. A stonefaced woman made her way out 10 minutes later--no "Thank you for coming" or apology for making me wait. After chatting awhile, she said she would show my resume to her manager to see if I was a good fit for the job and would let me know. That should have been taken care of before asking me to drive all the way across town in the middle of a work day to meet her.
The impression I got was that the rep did not care for me personally--maybe I was too old (in my forties). I usually interview very well, but when faced with ungracious hosts, not so much. Of course I never heard from them again.
I have considerable experience and a lot to offer, but next time if a position I am interested in is advertised by this company, I will scour the internet to see if another agency is advertising and go with them instead. read more
