The second interview was a huge disappointment. The initial screening had gone well, but during the second interview with the gatekeeper, the conversation felt frustrating and shallow. She asked a broad question about my sales experience, which didn’t match the depth of my qualifications. Looking back, I should’ve asked, 'What exactly would you like to know from my resume?' as I had a lot of relevant experience. I couldn’t help but feel that she judged me based on my physical appearance, and not in a positive way. After asking just one question, she abruptly ended the call. Her tone was rude, and I’ve heard similar feedback from others who’ve interviewed with her. I feel bad for the screener, though. The gatekeeper in the department likely thinks she’s being sent unqualified candidates, but that isn’t the case. I knew two people who didn’t make it past her either, and I was more than qualified. It was a frustrating, unprofessional interaction that left me grateful I didn’t have to work with her.
