Read the community guidelinesThe pandemic is raging, so the interview was conducted online.
Note: The first round was an HR interview, and the second round was with the manager. However, the process ended with HR.
1. I encountered the rudest and most unprofessional HR representative I have ever met in an interview.
2. They first asked me to introduce myself, and I spoke for about 30 seconds. They responded, “Huh? That’s it?” So I said I had prepared a portfolio and could share my screen to introduce my previous work experience directly. They replied, “No need. Wait until the manager comes and tell them.”
3. They then asked about my work experience again, shaking their head and snickering: “And then? And then? And then?” Their attitude was deplorable.
4. I suspected they had not properly reviewed my résumé. The questions were all irrelevant, and their manner made me uncomfortable, to the point that I no longer wanted to continue the conversation. I said that my résumé included detailed links to my work and achievements, and that I could explain them if needed.
They actually lectured me: “I can’t feel that you’re making a serious effort to sell yourself. How are you going to pitch to clients like this?” The job posting on 104 didn’t even say that the role involved pitching to clients. What was their problem?
Their arrogant attitude was so off-putting that I took the initiative to end the interview.
The HR representative’s attitude gave me a very poor impression of your company.
