Entrevista
I was genuinely excited when I got the chance to interview for the HR Manager role at Lakeside Foods. My initial phone interview went great — the conversation was engaging, and I felt optimistic about potentially joining the team. But unfortunately, my excitement faded quickly during the in-person interview.
Right off the bat, the focus was entirely on how many hours I was willing to work — 50 to 60 hours a week, including weekends. There was no real discussion about the strategic goals of the HR department or how I could contribute to the company’s growth. It felt like they weren’t looking for a leader to help drive HR initiatives but rather someone willing to sacrifice all their personal and family time for the company. That alone was discouraging.
What made things worse was the way the interview was conducted. No one was taking notes or writing down my responses, which left me wondering how they could objectively evaluate my qualifications. It felt disorganized and biased — like I was being judged on vague impressions rather than my skills or experience.
After the interview, I waited for follow-up communication — even just a simple "thank you for your time" would have been appreciated. But nothing came. No update on next steps, no rejection notice — just complete silence. To top it off, I later noticed the job posting had been quietly taken down from job boards and the company's career page without any communication to candidates. That lack of responsibility and respect for my time was disappointing, to say the least.
I know interviews are a two-way street — companies evaluate candidates, and candidates assess companies. Unfortunately, this experience made it clear that Lakeside Foods wasn’t the right fit for me.

The experience was positive overall. The recruiter and HR were humble and positive throughout the process. However, my final interview round, which was scheduled, was called off because they found another candidate with more experience than mine.

I went through two phone interviews, then received an email stating they wanted to bring me in for an in person interview and plant tour. In total, I spoke with 4 different people in the process of questioning. After that it was like I was ghosted. After 5 days of no response (I was told I would hear from them within the next few days), I reached out to the person who had been coordinating my interviews to see if there was an update or if they had gone with another candidate. Fast forward to 11 days after my plant visit and I still hadn't heard back. It took me googling the person I first had an interview with to find his email online to reach out. He responded mere hours later saying they were going in a different direction. What a waste of time and lack of communication.
