Telephone interviews went well. The interviewer was professional and courteous. It wasn't until I got to the face to face interview/role playing that everything went south. "I am not an actor," I said to the interviewer before being placed in the whole non-sense game. Once I was shown to my, "office" which has forms and scattered papers over the desk, a CD player, phone and calculator, the other interviewer (I guess) came in with a script he was reading from, gave me some instructions and then hit play on the CD. The whole 30 minutes I sit there listening to the voice on the player that is giving me vague instructions on they phony company and the role I will be playing. Form A through F need to be filled out in each scenario I will be going through for the 2 1/2 hours. As I sit there, I can hear other people in other "office" set ups going through their role playing. After the 35 minutes, the phone rings and the voice on the other end tells me he is the So and So from department this and that and he has some information from me. I felt like a teenager auditioning for a play. I told him I didn't know what he was wanting me to do. Next, the voice and another gentleman arrive with scripts in their hands playing out a role. Half way through this ridiculous scene, I told them I was fed up and I though this was completely obtuse. After making my way through the scene, which I'm sure I didn't get good scores on I was given another stack of papers to go through, which I had no idea what I was supposed to do with these (map, directions and what route I would take, how many minutes it would take to get from A to B). I finally had enough. I had no doubt I could preform the job well, but this was just the most ridiculous thing I have ever been asked to go through from an application process. I consider myself a professional and I should not have to go through an "audition" to get a job.
