The Negative Interview Process

I recently went in for an interview with a employment organization about a month ago. They had come from corner to corner my information and asked me if I was paying attention in meeting with them. I had heard some industry echoing from former associates that this association was a body shop, which is a company that is persistently outsourcing. The company for all time seemed to be looking for recruiters, which should have been red flag number one.

You normally have to think the source, but since none of my classmates actually had any familiarity working there, I figured all the unhelpful press could have been gossip and tale. I proceeded with vigilance and scheduled an interview process.

The Interview Process

Here is a breakdown of my interview understanding. Directions-They never sent tracks to the interview location, just an address. Although with GPS, Mapquest and Google maps, it's not tough to find tracks, but the company should have offered me with it.

Address-What the courses didn't tell me, and what the company could have effortlessly told me and where they were in fact located were different. In adding up, the access to the building was a little funky. I was approximately late to the interview figuring out how to get in!

Tardiness-Job applicants are for eternity told to be on time-or even premature-to an interview process. But the same should go for the interviewer! My interviewer was late and then exhausted 10 minutes finding a discussion room to place me in. Location-The interviewer lastly put me in a small room that was nothing petite of a police cross-examination chamber and asked me if I coveted water. I agreed, and then was left sitting unaided-for 15 minutes!

Manner-The interviewer lastly returned, but without water. And then he advanced to grill me. I felt like I was immediately patted down. However, no information was given about the corporation or what he was looking for. He proceeded like he had someplace else to be during interview process. 

Parking-This was the only position I interviewed that did not affectionate to corroborate parking. No heads up was given proceeding to the interview about having to pay for parking.

Follow up-There was no follow-up call or e-mail after the interview. I was a now a number.

I left the interview, took my official procedure from the receptionist and upside down it. I did not want them to have my information.

Noticeably, this was not a optimistic interview process experience.

Throughout an interview, you should try to make the applicant feel at ease. If job applicants are at ease in the interview process they are more likely to make known things about themselves than they would in an anxious situation.

When you bring job applicants in to interview, you are an diplomat of your company. As a recruiter you are the first line of superiority assurance for your organization. And as an interviewer you have an occasion to brand your company-it's virtually free advertising to a imprisoned audience! Why not make this a great instant for the job applicants so they will leave feeling encouraged? They in turn will be more inclined to spread the word to their coworkers. Good press is hard to come by, but it comes easier if you strive to do the right thing every time.
