Interview: Administrative Assistant

At the beginning, an HR staff member came to the first floor and took me by elevator to the fifth floor, where I started filling out the company's own resume form. There was also an autobiography section on the back, and by the time I finished, about half an hour had passed.

After I handed it to HR, she asked me to wait in a seat. After waiting for half an hour, no one came to tell me that it was time for the interview. I glanced at the HR staff member, who was busy with various things and chatting and laughing with her colleagues. I wondered if I had been forgotten, but waiting for an hour exceeded my limit.

Me: I'm leaving now.

HR No. 2: Or should I explain the job duties to you now?

Me: No, thank you. Do I just take the elevator down from here to leave?

HR No. 1: Yes.

Later, when I went to wait for the elevator,

HR No. 1 chased after me: So, are you highly interested in this position?

Me: Since I still don't know what the job involves, I guess not very interested.

HR No. 1: Since you've already come in for the interview, why don't you learn more about it before you leave?

Me: No!

Her: I'm sorry. The company happened to run into a problem today, so we were dealing with it just now.

Me: No, thank you.

In my head: If something unexpected came up during the interview, you should have come and told me! You left me waiting there for nothing, and only now are you apologizing. The time you wasted was mine, not yours!
