      HR Generalist Interview

      Jan 21, 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Gardner, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Heywood Hospital (Gardner, MA) in Dec 2020

      Interview

      During the phone interview, I was advised that the position was mostly recruiting and the hospital was way behind in their recruitment efforts. I asked what the time commitment per week was. I was honest and stated it sounded like a lot of work and I was not interested in a 55-60 per week commitment. A health work/life balance was important to me. The interviewer (who would be my boss) advised me that she works 6:30 a.m. to 4:10 p.m.-so not even 50 hours per week. She invited me in for a face to face interview to meet 'the team'. During the interview, I was told the position was "a minimum, MINIMUM (yes, it was stated that way) of 50-60 hours per week, including nights and weekends." OK, so if it is a minimum of 50-60 hours per week, what is the average? 60-70? Who the heck wants to work that many hours a week for average pay? Good grief. I wish the boss had the integrity to not invite me in for an interview knowing I wasn't interested in working a MINIMUM of 50-60 hours per week. My time is important and it was a waste of time. The 'team' was hostile to me during the interview for expressing my opinion that a healthy work/life balance was important. It was a phone interview. You screen out people who aren't a good fit during the phone interview. You don't bring them in for a face-to-face interview (during a pandemic) just to chastise them. Basic HR Interviewing 101
