Behavioral Technical
The interview process was the most distressing experience of my life, almost abysmal when I reflect. It took the executive assistant 3 weeks of cancelling and rescheduling, multiple times to finally book an interview. Also, she was extremely rude over the phone. Finally on the day of my interview with the director, it seemed like she was just having a look at my CV that minute and within minutes came to the conclusion that I was unfit for the role. She raised her voice at me several times and belittled me every chance she got. She even went so far to say "what were you thinking applying to this role?!" and "you're a young bubbly girl, why don't you do something like sales? They are always looking for girls". Truly appalling.
