My experience with this company wasn’t all that exceptional, but as it
was an incredibly illustrative example of what I experienced so many times as a
job hunter, I’ve decided to include the story here. I applied for a graphic
design position advertised in April 2014 and had a telephone interview with
their HR rep. She was the typical HR rep I've been encountering since I began looking for work in 2013 -- an inexperienced, giggly, twentysomething girl. She did
not ask me a single question in relation to my design experience or anything
design-related, but rather read off a number of generic pointless questions
from a checklist (questions more suitable for a management or administrative
role). I tried my best to answer these questions (and I truly do not understand
what companies expect to get out of these useless phone interviews), and she
ended with telling me the next step would be a face-to-face interview. After
the call I emailed her the standard thank-you, to which she did not respond. I received her rejection email two weeks later. As I was fully qualified
for this position (I have 17 years of experience) I would really like to know
what exactly was the criteria they used to disqualify me from even having a real interview.
