Worst attitude I've ever faced in an interview. 1. Tardy and unapologetic Hiring manager (MD of SG and MY markets) could not commit to showing up. Pushed back interview time for an hour, said she would be there in the next 30 mins but left me waiting an additional hour ++. No explanation or sincere apology when she turned up, just a mere brush off. 2. Disgruntled, cynical, know-it-all attitude. Told me that I would be a liability and would be taxing to the team as I have not worked in another PR environment before (journalism background). Rolled eyes half the time. Makes me wonder why she even wanted to talk salary - is this goal here to make your candidate feel like you're doing them a favour by hiring them, to push down the costs? She ended the interview abruptly (literally pushed back her chair and stood up instantly) when we recognised a mismatch in salary. There is being powerful, decisive and a straight shooter, and then there is trying too hard behavior that bothers on vulgar. No doubt hiring manager is someone articulate and smart, but there is an utter lack of grace. A candidate's time is valuable too. Hiring managers have access to CVs - if you already don't think someone is a fit, why bother setting up the interview? Maybe I'm not hungry enough for the job; I can imagine fresh grad job seekers putting up with this. Not sure she realises candidates have options too, and an interview is a two-way assessment. If she's behaving so rudely during an interview, how would she treat her staff when they're in the door?
