      Store Manager Interview

      9 Jul 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Beverly, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Talbots (Beverly, MA) in Apr 2019

      Interview

      I was contacted by the corporate recruiter by email to set up a phone interview. The recruiter called 20 minutes earlier than what was stated in the email. I answered the phone but didn’t know it was Talbots calling because the caller ID just showed a phone number. I said hello, the recruiter introduced herself, I guess the tone of my voice sounded a little surprised because she said “ didn’t you read the email I sent you about this interview?” It was the standard corporate retail questions. She kept interrupting my answers and talking over me. I was told I would get another call 3 days later. I never heard from her again, no thank you for your interest email, just ghosted. I would expect a corporate recruiter to behave more professionally than this. The position is still listed, 3 months later.

      I had four interviews and everyone was wonderful to speak with and meet. After every interview I had, I knew this was the job for me. I was getting offers from other companies and they were able to move the interview process along so I could get this job.
