      Finance Technician - Projects Interview

      15 Nov 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Newcastle upon Tyne, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Karbon Homes (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Oct 2018

      Interview

      Miserable experience. Applied for role - purgatory via horrendous application form. Few weeks later, received email saying I was unsuccessful. An hour later, received phone call saying email was in error. Invited to interview in a week's time. Two days before interview, received another email stating I was also required to sit a half hour test prior to interview. Interview & test preparation, suited, booted, expense & time in travel & attendance. Arrived at reception. Receptionist got my name wrong. Observed in WC. A ton of behaviour conditioning posters, what to do. What not to do etc. Interviewer arrived. Was told it had been difficult to book a room. Was escorted to a glass Hannibal lector type room for test. Group of younger workers, I.T. I was told, seemed to feel it appropriate to snigger & smirk at some kind of in joke - clearly at my expense. I was forced to give them "the look", to which their attitude changed. Nice. Test was all in Karbon branding & terminology. Difficult for an outsider to succeed. Interview,: 2 interviewers. My answers were cut short with terse coordinated page turning - clearly signalling a move to the next question. A load of Karbon branded competency based questions - next to impossible to demonstrate my transferable skill set. Interview end. Interviewer escorted me from the building & said goodbye - getting my surname wrong. Therefore, clearly they thought I was somebody else. Post interview, hours, days ,weeks & a month later of checking my email, phone, doormat. Nothing. Zilch. Clearly Karbon Homes takes what suits it best from an interview process. It the continues to demonstrate its contempt for candidates by giving them the silent treatment. You spend weeks on end agonising. Putting life on hold, all for the sake of what would amount to two minutes of their time. A turgid, miserable experience from start to never ending finish. I've the same contempt for Karbon Homes a which they showed to me. Horrible organisation.
