I applied for the job, and a couple days later I received an email inviting me to interview.
On the day of the interview, I found my way to the back room, and was not greeted by the ladies (I'm assuming they were receptionists). I had to get their attention in order for them to turn around and notice me, and they seemed annoyed at me for talking to them, directing their statements about me towards each other rather than addressing me personally.
I waited about 5 or 10 minutes after the interview was supposed to start. The interviewer was obviously unsure of himself, and reading his introduction and questions directly from a piece of paper. At the end of the interview, he said, "Well, let's see what we've got for you," and stepped out of the office.
He came back about ten minutes later; all the while I could hear his conversations with other staff right outside the door. They were trying to figure out which positions were actually hiring.
When he came back in, he said, "I have good news and bad news. Right now we don't actually have any sales positions open, but there should be one in the next couple weeks. Are you willing to wait for that?"
I was taken aback, because I had obviously just been interviewed for a supervisor position, and I had applied to be a supervisor in the back room. I asked him if the position I actually applied for was open, and he asked me what that position was specifically. What?! How do you actually go through with an interview with someone and not even know what they applied for?! I was shocked.
Once I explained to him the situation, he had to leave the room again. He came back about ten minutes later and told me that I shouldn't have ever been interviewed by him, because I had applied for a stock position, and he worked on the sales floor. So then, I had to set up a second interview with the right person.
When that interview came around, she literally read the same questions off the SAME piece of paper that had my previous answers written on it, and at the end, she informed me that I would have to go through ANOTHER interview with the supervisor of the job I applied for. I was told that THAT was my second interview; I had thought the second interviewer WAS my possible future supervisor.
I went to the third interview, but at that point I could tell they were so disorganized, and I was offered and accepted another job during the whole complicated process.
It was really a complete waste of time.
