Insults, humiliation

Jan 14, 2009 17:25


So I went to the interview yesterday and the first guy was an idiot.  He was such a bad interviewer.  He had no open-ended questions and he was real fidgety.  Then the second guy came to interview me.
I had to fill out an employment application and he pretty much insulted my hand-writing (which is nice, I get compliments on it a lot) by asking me over and over where I went to school even though I told him and spelled it out for him.  However he had to show me the application and comment about how he couldn't read my handwriting.  Then his cell phone rings and he answers it and talks on it for 5 minutes while I am just staring at him.  No, "excuse me but I have to take this call", didn't even bother to tell the person on the phone that he was busy, nothing.  Then when he got off he made no apology or anything.  Then he asked me one question about my previous experience, just one.  I answered him in a general way because the question wasn't very specific,  then he tells me, "so basically you have no experience", to which I replied, "I have 2 years of experience".  Then he says to me, "but the work you have been doing has been really easy", to which I replied, "what???" then he repeated his statement.  Needless to say I was completely insulted and speechless.  He had no familiarity with my resume before talking to me, then asks me one question and makes that deduction?  Not to mention through the whole course of our interview he spoke to me in a very condescending manner. 
Needless to say I was extremely pissed and called the recruiter fuming.  I can't believe I wasted my time in that insulting, humiliating situation.  Steve was so angry when I told him about it.  Luckily he was at work.  Steve ended up taking me to dinner to try to cheer me up.  
So my job hunt has not ended and I am back on the prowl for my next great opportunity.
