I attended one interview today. The interview went only for 11mins and as a courtesy the interviewer should introduce himself before he starts interviewing I found a big gap here. I decided not to continue with the interview further due to below reasons;
-
The interview was a one way video call where I was feeling awkward as I was not able to see other person's face and was talking in the air.
-
I was asked why did I apply for this role which is a Senior role and I have no experience in handling a managerial role of team handling?
-
I found the way I bombarded with the questions from the starting was very unprofessional and somewhere I felt embarrassed.
-
I was asked by the interviewer to check with the HR/Recruiter why he/she has shortlisted me ?
My answer for the 2nd question was as follows;
I am having 9yrs of experience and I found the responsibilities mentioned in JD are suitable and I have the skills of handling the role confidently, I do not see anywhere in Required skills it is mentioned that the candidate has a mandatory team handling experience required to apply for this role.
Candidates can apply for any role he/she finds suitable and no one can stop them applying. I have applied for this role as I found it suitable but if this was not suitable for me why did my resume get shortlisted and called for a VC interview and wasted my time
