Thank you for your interview feedback. We remember this interview well, as it was recent. You haven't received feedback as you were asked to go away, reflect on the interview and then come back to us with your thoughts. We didn't hear from you again.
We're surprised about the "apprentice style" comment as the interview turned into more of a coaching session based on the differences between your sector compared to ours. The reference to "doormat" is misleading, you shared with us that your current employer had withheld commission due to you because of an issue with their personal tax and you had chosen to walk away from the situation and not challenge what you were legitimately owed. We offered you advice, which was well received, about your rights in respect of claiming the money you were owed. I believe we said "don't let your current employer treat you like a doormat" as we really felt for you having to cancel a holiday abroad that you had booked due to your current employer withholding your commission.
We felt that a 3 stage interview was appropriate, given your change of sector and limited time in recruitment. We hope you appreciate a thorough interview process is as much for your benefit as ours, as well as reassuring you that we take the time to ensure we hire the right people. We wish you well in your future career.
