Multiple interview experiences with “stories”.
When I was notified about the interview, I had already explained that I had no accounting experience or accounting certifications. However, the person on the phone said that the work was simple and easy and that I could come in for an interview to see for myself. Unfortunately, I ended up stepping into an abyss. Throughout the entire interview, I was constantly belittled with comments such as, “I really don’t know how to continue this conversation,” “Your previous jobs didn’t require you to use your brain,” “Is there some problem since you stayed at each job for only about two or three years?” and “Would you go home and buy books to read?” It was the first time I had ever sweated profusely during an interview—not because I was nervous, but because the entire office didn’t have the air conditioning on and was unbearably hot. Whenever I was answering a question, I would be interrupted before I could finish speaking. It was extremely disrespectful. It was very clearly a position based on a responsibility system, but overtime pay was never mentioned, and I didn’t get an answer when I asked about it. The boss only emphasized that they wanted to find someone “with a sense of responsibility.” If you want to add more interview stories to your life, I recommend giving it a try.
