She was talking a presentational skills that the company teaches you, and the woman was barely literate. She was embarrassing. If that was the b did not want any part of them. Also, Company A and Company B’s recruiters appeared to have real attitude problems. I also thou chauvinistic. M BA with 10 years of experience: I had a very bad campus interview experience. The person who came was a last-minute fill-in. couple of “issues” and was very discourteous during the interview. He was one step away from yawning in my face. The other th he kept making these (nothing illegal, mind you) but he kept making these references to the fact that I had been out of my unde graduate programs for more than 10 years now. Engineering graduate: One firm I didn’t think of talking to initially, but they called me and asked me to talk with them. So I did, a was very, very rude, Yes, very rude, and I’ve run into that a couple of times. Industrial relations graduate student: The company had set a schedule for me which they deviated from regularly. Times overlap kept me too long, which pushed the whole day back. They almost seemed to be saying that it was my fault that I was late for the lot of what they did just wasn’t very professional. Even at the point when I was done, where most companies would have a cab p the middle of a snowstorm in Chicago and they said, you can get a cab downstairs. There weren’t any cabs. I literally had to walk my luggage, trying to find some way to get to the airport. They didn’t book me a hotel for the night of the snowstorm, so I had to eight hours trying to get another flight…They wouldn’t even reimburse me for the additional plane fare. Engineering undergraduate: The guy at the interview made a joke about how nice my nails were and how they were going to rui all the tough work.
