CiiNOW Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I applied for a position at this startup company only to receive a rude and very unprofessional reply email from the person in charge of hiring the position. So much for receiving a normal courtesy rejection letter or moving on with grace through applicants who don't seem to meet your requirements. In the position description it stated, "We appreciate your attention, but we ask not to reply to us if you do not like video gaming. If you reply, please send summary of your qualifications. Thank you." I happen to love gaming, and have connections at SEGA, Microsoft, EA, and IGN; therefore, I consciously decided to apply. Little did I know, I applied for a position at this company only to be sarcastically scolded by the person who received my cover letter and curriculum vitae. The email stated, "read the position description. I specifically asked NOT to contact us if you do not have what we're looking for." No reply or a good old fashion professional rejection letter would have sufficed. In the process of hiring, it's a known fact that one will have to deal with and read through all kinds of resumes! It's part of the responsibility one has when hiring new employees. This company needs to realistically stop expecting people applying for positions to know right off the bat that they do not have what the company is looking for! That would defeat the whole purpose of the application process. They perhaps should reconsider their choice of words in job postings they create for the general public in order to prevent ambiguity. Also, they need to become more aware that when interacting with people, especially using COMPANY EMAIL, that they are representing and reflecting the image of their company as well. I wouldn't waste my time trying to be part of a company that tolerates this type of negativity and upholds poor business ethics. I sure hope they don't treat current employees/clients/customers in the same manner.
