      Legal Interview

      16 May 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Swiss Re in May 2013

      Interview

      All communications with HR were professional and courteous, but when I was asked to attend a phone interview with an attorney in the legal department, she let me know immediately that she did not think I had sufficient experience for the position. I was polite and indicated that I had never misrepresented my experience on my resume or in my preliminary discussion with HR -- I was confused as to why I was invited to interview with her if I was so plainly unqualified? She also kept coughing into the phone, never apologizing or excusing herself as a normal professional would. It was easily the most unpleasant interview of my career, and I withdrew my application immediately. I'm still upset at being invited to interview then chastised for lack of experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Not a question, but a comment by the interviewer that "this is a very senior position" as in, you had no business applying for this position due to your lack of experience (once again, not sure why I was invited to interview!)
