I was called for a screening interview with no prior warning in the middle of the workday. At first I thought the caller was trying to schedule a formal phone interview. I was wrong, the person started rambling off questions followed by long pauses as they hand wrote the answers. I quickly ended the call and emailed them to remove myself as an applicant. It was a bad first impression. If that’s how you connect with people you want to attract, how would you treat those who work for you?
