Not to excuse that sort of behavior, but this is a pretty typical HR experience in the Bay Area. Late calls, no-shows, awkward questions, either too easy or too hard, abrupt endings, obviously haven't read the resume, etc. Happens all the time, unfortunately.
- speeder 13y agoI had a interview failed like that from Amazon... Granted, I think it was accidental on their part (ie: the person that interviewed me was newbie at Amazon himself and quite lost, but seemly the person that was going to interview me had a serious problem of sorts and could not do it)
- brown9-2 13y agoThe good news for the candidate is this type of behavior is a great leading indicator of what working for the company will be like.
- __--__ 13y agoIs it, though? Every company in the Bay Area I've ever worked for (and a few that weren't in the bay area) has hit multiple items on the parent's list. Even the ones who have their shit together and were a blast to work at gave horrible interviews. Interviews are hard.
- rhizome 13y agoEven the ones who have their shit together and were a blast to work at gave horrible interviews. Fundamental attribution error. It was luck that they turned out to be a compatible work situation.
- __--__ 13y agoAre you saying that my personality is the reason other people can't conduct an interview? I agree I don't interview well, but that has nothing to do with a third party I've never met being able to show up on time.
- rhizome 13y agoIt was not a personal comment. The fundamental attribution error is that it turned out to be a compatible working relationship despite bad interviewing on the company's part. Aside from giving you an interview, nothing the company did during the recruiting process put the right person in the seat. It was just luck that it worked out, and just as often, if not more, it doesn't.
