I applied on LinkedIn for a role I was qualified for, and my resume showed I met all requirements. The recruiter contacted me via text, which was unprofessional. They said the hiring team wouldn't consider me for the role I applied for, but would consider me for a lower position, which is what I've been doing for 4 years. I replied that I wasn't interested in a role I was overqualified for, and it would be a downgrade. Over a month later, I was still getting emails about my application status for that lower role, even though I never applied for it and told them not to consider me.

Behavioral Presentation
My interview experience was a bit unique since I was already working for Skechers in retail. An HR manager first reached out about the Sample Coordinator role and we had a quick chat on MS Teams. He asked if I was interested in applying. After I said yes, he connected me with the hiring team. They scheduled an interview for the next morning at the Manhattan Beach HQ. The interview itself was about 45 minutes long. Mostly, the hiring team, which included the director and a couple of managers, asked if I had any questions. Since I was an internal candidate, they likely already had a good sense of who I was from HR. They told me they thought I'd be a good fit, and I got the offer a few days later.

Behavioral Technical
I went for an interview in Singapore, but it was a really bad experience with poor communication. I showed up only to find out the job I applied for was already filled, and nobody bothered to update the posting or let me know beforehand. The interviewer didn't even know what position I was there for and had to ask me. To make matters worse, they were judgmental, suggesting that people from smaller companies can't adapt to a larger one. Then they went on to say there's a lot of overtime every month, including weekends, and questioned if people from smaller companies could handle it. It made me wonder why I was even called in for an interview.

The interview process was pretty standard. It started with a video call with a recruiter, and then all the subsequent interviews were in person. They wouldn't do virtual interviews after the first recruiter call. The in-person interviews themselves were pretty standard, but the experience was really bad. I had to wait in the lobby for about 15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged me to check in, even though I got there early. After that, the first interviewer just fired questions at me really fast and didn't really seem to pay attention to my answers. It felt super rushed. The second interviewer was also super rude and unprofessional. They had really old-fashioned ideas about candidates who had worked in multiple places. They were totally focused on people who had stayed in jobs for a long time and were really nasty when asking about my work history. Honestly, they were confrontational and unpleasant the whole time, and it honestly made me not want to work there.
