Influencers Wanted
Interviewed for a job at a firm when I had just moved to the country.
They proceeded to bring up my Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter on the screen in front of me.
They laughed at me over photos of me in a dress at a Christmas party. They also said I didn’t have any endorsements on LinkedIn, which was really important to them for some reason. And I only had 20 Twitter followers which they felt they needed to bring up.
I had all the required experience for the position, they were just so ridiculously caught up in social media profiles that they felt like they needed to belittle me from the get go.
They told me to send through some references, but I was so embarrassed and disheartened by the interview, it drained any interest of working for them at all.
