Daymon Worldwide Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 2 days)

My experience with the initial interview with Daymon was that an assistant to the Corporate Recruiter set the time and forwarded to me the job description with the comment that the Corporate Recruiter would review the job with me. Upon the day of the phone interview the Corporate Recruiter contacted me and was on speaker phone. I found that very distracting.

The Corporate Recruiter asked if I had reviewed the job description and how I felt I was qualified for the position. The Recruiter then asked a number of fairly standard questions and that was the end of the interview. I interjected along the way about wouldn't you be interested in my qualifications and the reply was that the Recruiter was simply screening for the hiring manager.

OK - my bad for not being more proactive about the interview and selling myself. So what I learned from the experience is that if I had it to do over again I would have been much more assertive and taken charge of the interview from the prospective of strongly selling myself rather than waiting for a traditional type of telephone screen interview.

This opinion and feeling is further reinforced in that the Recruiter seemed from the very outset to project a feeling of really being unenthusiastic about interviewing me. It seemed like the recruiter was simply going through the motions. Hope this helps any other perspective candidates to strongly "take charge" of the interview. Good luck to all candidates.
