Do you think this was a bizarre interview approach?
Was this a bizarre interview? WOULD YOU have done this?
I would really love some feedback on this one! I was called to interview for a greater than life job at a local hospital. I did intially interview and it went well. I felt that they would be offering me the "job" as a clinical supervisor. I got a calll the next day to intervierw with a panel of nurses that I would potentially be supervising.. I loved this idea!!
I met with this bunch today about 10 staff members. I sat in a circle and the generic interview questions rang off. I really like the bunch that I was there with until one nurse pulled out a list of questions and fired one after another at me. Like I was at a firing range and I was the target.
She asked some very good quesitons, but a few were asked with inappropriate language.. LIke "what would you do with a **** stirrer?" I answered very honestly.. then she pulled out my resume and said you have left many jobs in just more than a year. Explan yourself.? I did very eloquyantly and explained some positions I had to pursue elsewehre due to the nature of degree I was pursuing at school ect. She was very rude, harsh and inappropriate with her inquires and told me "I just want to make sure you are going to stick around" "we have had so many managers over the last couple of years " There was other odd things that came out of the interview like expections of me working more than full time ect..
I thought about this weird impression and though I'd write a kind letter outlining my impression of what I was originally interviewing for and what the job really was. I futhered the letter by telling the manager that the choice of employee's to speak to me was for the most part positive except the one outlined above. I did tell her as a manager to another this was not a good impression of your office and on that alone i would decline any offers of employment.....
I did tell her that I was NOT interested in pursuing this position any further and thank her for her interest.
Would you have done this?
