Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Tails.com (Richmond, London, England) em out. de 2025
Entrevista
I applied online on their website. After 2 weeks I received an email to schedule a phone interview with Dawn. I found her on LinkedIn and read some of her posts. At the start of the interview I shared that I read some of her post and now I am even more motivated to work in the company, but I could sense that she felt ashamed of what I've said.
She was very strict and cold when asking questions, so I felt even more nervous.
She asked me:
Tell me about yourself
Why tails.com ?
Tell me a time you handled a difficult customer
When have you made a change at work?
"What are your salary expectations?"
In the interview I asked about the progression pathway in the company and she was honest, expressing that it won't be any progression for me as the job I am applying is a maternity cover only. Then I asked what are the dates were for the training to have a clear picture of the situation, and she said they don't have any dates.
***Well, when I was pregnant, I definitely knew when my maternity is supposed to start and my employer was aware as well. From her answers I felt that they are not actually looking for staff, but gathering some data from people or may be trying to gain popularity. 20 days after the interview, I received an email with personalised feedback, which is good. I wish the company the best, but I won't be spending time applying there for the future, as it may be just a wast of time, as it was my first time.
