Interview
Really bizarre. I usually have a really easy time with interviews, as I can get along with most anyone, but this one really didn't feel like a conversation, and it ended abruptly. I refrained from filling out my current and past salary (for obvious negotiation reasons) but listed my desired. The interviewer, who I believe is the owner, asked me anyway what my salary at my most recent job was. I politely stated I didn't feel comfortable disclosing my personal finances. He quickly shut down and said, "Well then, there's nothing to discuss here" and ended the interview. He told me he had "never had anyone say that in all his years". Definitely dodged a bullet - agencies and advisors have told me you have no upper hand disclosing your salary, and I believe in California it is running through the courts to be banned. Making your potential employees feel unwelcome is at least an honest disclosure of how you run your business.

Interview
I received from a gentleman and he pulled my resume. He seemed already annoyed with having to pre-screen me. He asked me a total of 3 questions. 1. Was I currently working? I answered yes 2. Do you have a college degree? I answered No (I have 10+ years in customer service). They asked for salary history when sending in my resume. I am currently making 42k. He stopped and said "I suggest you stay were you are at because you will never make 42k here without a college degree." That pretty much sums up the Pre-interview. After reading the reviews it looks like a dodged a bullet.
