      I interviewed at Rail Europe

      Interview

      On my first round, I was interviewed by my would be manager based in Paris through Skype. Interview went very well and manager felt confident about working with me. We spoke for 2 full hours and I was very happy and confident about working with this particular manager. Positive feedback was provided but an in-person interview at their US office in White Plains, NY was requested. At that time, I was out of state being interviewed for some other full time opportunities. After several back and forths with the staffing firm, Rail Europe finally agreed on a phone interview, a month after initial interview. As I had discussed with the manager before, I only possessed and had worked with some of the very specific data protocols required given my non-technical background. Nevertheless, I was familiar with all the different data exchange protocols in question. This was not an issue for the manager, who even mentioned she would be providing me with the necessary training. During this last interview, I could hardly understand the interviewer's English. Last interviewer was responsible for programmers and had no idea who I was or even my background, not to mention anything discussed previously. When I inquired as to how his position related to mine and under what circumstances we would work together, interviewer mentioned we would not be working together at all. Why Rail Europe thought it was a good idea to have me interview with this individual remains a mystery to me. Essentially, I had a technical interview for a Business Development role - language and technical skills that were actually required were a perfect match and the actual manager felt confident I would be able to perform the job. This was a Partner/GSA Enablement position in the train travelling industry for the Americas. It was not a Programmer job, in fact it was a position which would benefit from a fresh perspective on how to scale Partner/GSA Enablement. Conversation was extremely awkward and difficult to understand. In the end, the cherry on top of the cake was the interviewer claiming to have been told I was abroad and had immigration problems for the reason of having to interview me over the phone. I felt like I was being interviewed with a completely different company on this second round. I consider this last interview to have been very unprofessional, unnecessary and a waste of time. The company was seeking a Portuguese/Spanish speaker for the Americas region to support Partners/GSAs and the last interviewer in the US office for this company had the belief that this individual would have to necessarily have immigration problems...
