I applied online and was reached out by the company for an interview. I asked them if it would be phone or virtual and they said they needed an in person interview the next morning. I advised I couldn't do that because I worked 25 miles from my house and would need a couple weeks to ask for time off from my job to attend the interview. I let them know if they needed someone to interview right away I will withdraw my application. They agreed to the phone interview. They wanted me to call the interviewer the next day. I called and no answer and left a vm. They called back and I was driving home. They wanted me to call when I got home but I let them know it would take me an hour to get home as I work far from my job. I stated this the day before as well. They asked me what job I applied for and to explain my experience as they clearly didn't read my resume. I let them know my background and my career goals. They said I didn't have much experience and didn't let me ask any questions about the job or explain the company or the job role. I can tell they already had unconscious bias about me due to calling while driving home and living far from my current job. They said they would let me know in 2 days . They called back 2 mins later asking if I wanted a different job. I declined.
I was disappointed because it seems they wanted me to adapt to them rather than them adapting to me. Why would you offer me another job after I just told you my career goals. It seems they want someone who can start right away and that's not someone who's currently employed. It was just a waste of time. They put 3 lines in the job description they said they wanted someone with 3-5 years experience not 2. Well if you put that in the job description I would not have applied.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Shaxon Industries in Mar 2012
Interview
Typical interview questions. The interview was short and interesting. I was asked numerous questions and ended up in the sales department. They asked what I did at the last company I worked for, and to describe how to overcome problem scenarios with clients. They wanted to know my past history in terms of selling services engagements or other complex software, hardware, or services deals. They were interested in how I would come into a territory and whether I had a plan that was well though out or not. They were interested in how I would partner with others in the territory and gain mind share.
