Surprise group interview
I showed up to my interview this morning only to walk into a room of 10 people who were all clearly waiting for the same interview as myself.
The hiring manager pushed an application form in my hands and was pleasant enough. Admittedly, my face probably already said everything.
Something snapped in me. Rather than grin and bear it, I just pushed the forms back into his hands and asked for a word in private. I told him, in no uncertain terms, that I would not be participating in a group interview and that I felt annoyed, uncomfortable and misled as this had not been mentioned during our initial screening.
He was dumbfounded and stumbled over an attempt at an apology but I was already out the door and gone.
At the very least if you can’t do me the courtesy of a one-on-one interview then you’re not a place I want to work.
