First I received an email from the recruiter saying they wanted to begin the interview process along with a PDF describing the company and job. One thing I noticed was it was a work-from-home role though it wasn’t stated in job ad. Also, that I would be reposnsible to pay upfront for a computer, printer, shredder and a few other things!? I was to set-up a Google Hangout account for us to chat. Usually the recruiter sets up, but whatever.. I created the account and sent an invitation with the link, for the video call. Day arrives I’m sitting staring at myself waiting for the recruiter.. finally 20 min after the interview was to begin, I get a text, no video, the recruiter responded saying that the interview would be TEXT in the chat feature. Why not tell me that in advance? I said I had never had a text interview, no prior phone call. Never a conversation. She responds ‘Really?’ She said the interview was to test my typing speed and accuracy. This is not an entry level position. The requirement is at least 5 years administrative experience. My CV shows many more years experience. than that. Than I sat and waited for a question, for her to say something, anything...and she said nothing. I was completely turned off on so many levels. I almost thought maybe I was being hacked. What a disastrous way to conduct an interview!! I walked away.
