      Payroll Interview

      Oct 31, 2012
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Seattle, WA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sur La Table (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2008

      Interview

      Went to the interview for a payroll position. During the interview the person kept asking me about how to do accounting processes. After about 20 minutes of this I said I was curious as to why they kept asking me about accounting processes and if that was a big part of the payroll job. She turned her head sideways and said "Oh we already hired someone for the payroll job, I thought you might want the accounting position we have open." I was shocked. Why call me in for a job I applied for and offer me something totally different? What a nutty HR department.
