It was a mess from the minute the exec reached out over email for the interview, to the end of the scheduled session with the hiring manager. She was quite presumptuous regarding my profile and did not bother to ask why the various contract roles I took up during my earlier years, and dismissed it as short-term roles and hence lacking the experience. In addition, she misinterpreted my account management experience as an accounting-based function which is far from reality. The icing on the cake was when she offered a totally separate role that has nothing to do with the role I applied for.
Suggestion: Please improve on the way you reach out to candidates and avoid last minute changes on a really short notice (the interview timing was pushed earlier at 7am on the day itself). Also, instead of concluding an interviewee’s profile, please ask them for clarity.
