I had seen this job repeatedly appear in the job boards numerous times over the past few years. That alone should have been a red flag (why the high turnover?). But I still applied, and was invited to come in for an interview. I arrived, exited the elevator to their floor, and was greeted by…a foosball table. Turning to the left towards the door, I was met by…a ping-pong table. Hoo-boy. Sure enough, I did not see one person over the age of 30 in this place. Girl #1 (this site doesn't allow use of titles) came out and immediately led me to meet with the owner. He greeted me from behind his desk, and coldly asked me if I have a copy of my resume whilst looking down at his nails. I handed it to him, he scrutinized it for a second, then he asked me if I have an online portfolio. I pointed out my URL is right there on my resume. He asked me how good I am at researching on the internet. You mean, “Googling?” Yeah, I’m pretty good at Googling (but what an odd question). He began poking around my website and then asked if it has any PPT samples; I explained I can’t post those publicly as they consist of confidential material but I’ve got printouts right here in my printed portfolio which I began to pull out -- and he held up his hand and ordered me to stop right there, saying in a disgusted manner, “don’t bother.” Whoa. And then his cell phone rang – and, yes, he took the call. His next question aligns with a previous reviewer’s comment, “What are your salary requirements?" Really? We haven’t even talked about the job you’re trying to fill, you didn’t really ask me a single question about my design skills, and you haven’t shown me samples of your presentations/slides… Next, he said he wanted me to meet with the kid who’s vacating the job. I was led to another office and met with the soon-to-be-ex, and his first question (turned out to be his only question) was, "So, what do you like to do for fun?” Oh, for the love of dog…what is the relevance of this question? What does this have to do with the JOB I am here to learn about? But, I played along, making silly pointless chit-chat. He then wrapped it up (I still had not been shown or told anything about the work I’d be doing in this role) and went out to get the HR girl. I sat there for quite some time, when some kid barged in and seemed somewhat shocked at my presence; I deduced that this must be his office and we were “squatting” while he was at lunch. He gave a “deer/headlights” look and stepped back out. Girl #1 arrived and led me to the conference room, where I met with yet another twenty-something girl who asked me if I can show her any of my work. I asked, “Did you look at my URL/portfolio?” “Duh, noooooo, sorry, I didn’t.” At this point I really should’ve just walked out. But, I pulled out my tablet, showed her all my work and she proceeded to ask what software packages did I use for every single piece (she did not ask about what inspires me artistically, what my design process was, etc.). Each time I gave the same answer, Photoshop, Illustrator and Cinema 4D, and to that she repeatedly responded with “Oh, we don’t use Cinema 4D at all here.” Okay, so you’ve just clarified that your team’s skills are not up to par with mine. Good for you. That ended and she left to fetch girl #1. I sat there waiting for about ten minutes, and in a repeat of what happened in the last meeting, some kid barged in hoping to use the room, was shocked to see me there, exhibited the “deer/headlights” look and scampered out. Girl #1 finally appeared, and I finally got the chance to ask, “Can I SEE some of the presentations or slides you do, that you expect this person to create?” Her response was, “No, sorry, I can’t show you anything.” In summary, it was one big waste of time.
