I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TransPerfect
Interview
The first step was a very basic telephone interview with the senior recruiter who was lovely! Then was invited to a second stage which was an absolute joke. I was patronised many times by one gentleman and he even wrote something funny on my CV for the next guy to have a laugh at IN FRONT OF ME! I have been on many interviews, but this one was horrendous. Not only were their questions VERY irrelevant, not suited to the job but I found them to be extremely disrespectful and honestly a waste of time!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The role was for a Project Coordinator... he asks me to carry out a Sales pitch for him. I did not apply for a sales position. It had no aspect of Sales involved, so why on Earth would you do such a thing?
A phone screening with HR and a test after. A test consisted of copy editing and formatting which is not exactly the main project coordinator activities so it seemed odd that they are treated as a prerequisite for getting a job.
First call with HR, then with Dept Manager, then in-person interview with hiring managers. The whole process was quick, hiring managers were lovely and the questions were aligned with the role. Interview with Detp Manager was easy.
5 interviews (1 in person) for an entry level position and 2700-3300 salary/month. Told me only at 2nd interview that I'm expected to work overtime and weekends all the time.
