> Is this experience common? How do you respond to this? It's shocking to encounter inept, inexperienced, socially repulsive corporate executives who think they can magically screen-out candidates in :60 seconds. Uncommon, but not unheard of. Why do some companies seem to attract talent, while others struggle? May I submit that good leadership attracts good talent. You dodged a bullet with these bozos. Currently, it's a buyers market for your skill set. You have MORE power than you think. Next time, take control of the conversation-- lead with probing questions important to you. If they're serious, you'll enjoy a good two-way dialog.
