No earlier direct communication with AC until the day of interview. I spoke with a vendor/recruiter a couple of times. They briefed me that Acord will skip technical screen and instead want to do in person interview.
I drove for 2hrs to get there.
Interviewer was polite but office was pretty much empty. Interview room was dark and not properly lit.
Interviewer came with a few resumes on hand.
Interview was only for 15min.
My best guess is I probably was not the best fit for what they were looking for, but everything was laid out on my resume. They could have done a phone screen if they were not sure.
It was a waste of time.
No one can infer about an applying candidate, background and skills in a matter of 15min. That was very painful.
I was scheduled to meet with this person and another for a total of 1hr or so. However, the interviewer mentioned the other interviewer forwarded it to him and that there is no one else I need to see or wait for.
I didn't think I sucked in those 15min to decide on my candidacy.
