Behavioral

They asked for confirmation of my data, and after identifying that it would be my first time boarding, the interview was immediately interrupted without any information. I found it very disrespectful to me as a candidate. They could have at least informed me that the vacancy was for an experienced person, which was not stated in the job description.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Is this going to be your first time boarding?
