The department manager conducting the interview was skilled at belittling interviewees. Upon arrival, I first had to fill out a résumé and take a test. When the department manager began the interview, their attitude was dismissive. They started looking for problems in my previous work and repeatedly judged the quality of my past work based solely on their own perceptions. Only during the interview did they say that the position might involve reassignment in the future, so the candidate needed to have sales-oriented qualities, and that as one gets older, it would be impossible to continue working in an administrative role. They repeatedly made sarcastic remarks to assess the interviewee’s abilities and had already clearly hinted at whether I would be hired, yet still told me to wait for notification. When I asked how long it would take to receive the hiring decision, they then said that unsuccessful candidates would not be notified. The entire experience left a very bad impression. The job posting did not mention any requirement for sales-oriented qualities or the possibility of reassignment based on ability in the future. Luring an interviewee to the site early in the morning only to disclose these points and then reject them was simply a waste of the other person’s time.
