A recruiter contacted me via email and asked if I would like to shedule a phone interview with her. Before the phone interview, I had to fill out paperwork about myself and return it to her. I was very interested in the position and the company, so needless to say, I was excited. The interview started off with basic questions (ie "can you legally work in the US?). Within 4 minutes the recruiter asked about my current salary. She told me how much the position was budgeted for and asked if I was willing to take a pay cut. I replied yes, and she fired back asking why (she actually told me she wouldn't take that big of pay cut herself). I explained how I was looking for a change and I was in the market for a new job, but my reponse was not well received. I was immediately taken aback and I knew within seconds this was not the company for me. She was rude and disrespectful, and I was eager to get off the phone with her. I looked back at my phone to see how long the phone call was. 7 minutes, 44 seconds.
