Anonymous Interview Candidate in Brisbane
I applied online. I interviewed at Home Instead (Brisbane)
Submitted application. Received call and person started asking questions that proved they had not read resume/application. Just a few examples... She asked if I lived in Jonesboro(my info shows a different city). She asked what was my PCA/CNA experience level(resume shows all that and I was NOT applying for a PCA/CNA position). I asked what were the "other duties" listed on the posting..she said it would be to cover phones after hours and handle emergencies. WHen I asked about those hours I was told that was IN ADDITION TO the 40 hours during the week and that it was for $25 a night. I told her during the questioning that I can't do lifting(due to a health issue). They called back a week later and left a VM saying the office position was filled but there were plenty of caregiver positions available. (even though I told her that I couldn't do that). 30 minutes later I got an automated email saying thank you for applying for the caregiver position(I never did that) but they decided to go in a different direction.
- They wasted time asking things that were already clearly listed in my resume.
