Just a little context… I have a S.T.E.M. degree and 15 years of experience. I went into this interview after securing a written offer from another company but am seeing a couple other options, still in play, through.
Anyway, short and sweet, I put on a tie and drove 15-20 minutes there. The very first thing they want me to do is transfer all of the information on my résumé, to their application, by hand, while they sit there and watch me. The person instructing me to do this must have noticed a little confusion because she asked me if something was wrong. I replied, “I'm sorry, I thought I was here for an interview. I haven't filled out an application since earning minimum wage in high school. I think I'm just going to leave”. I got up and drove home.
The recruiter that lined up the interview was furious and demanded an explanation. I replied, “Typically, companies asking me to perform that task and I are not a good fit”. She said she understood but wished I had given her an option to save face and threatened to never work with me again. I'm not even sure who she is or what company she works for. Won't lose a wink of sleep.
