I applied for an administrative position in 2023. I received an initial HR screening, a typing test, and an interview with another individual, but was ultimately rejected. Fast forward two years and I apply for a different administrative position at the same office. I received an HR screening and was immediately rejected. During the screening I was asked if I had any questions. When I asked regarding the position assisting individuals from an office states away, I was told that was incorrect and an implication was made that I wasn't paying attention. I later reviewed the job posting and sure enough, there it was. They likely reused an ad from a different office and didn't bother to fully vet it. The kicker was I received a rejection at 8 p.m. on a Saturday night--what a way to end the week.

I'd submitted my resume online directly to the company. I was contacted the next day via email to set up an initial phone interview. Scheduling was quick. The call was with someone in HR who speedily read through a script of questions while typing furiously in the background (to the point it was distracting) as I answered each question. There was no input or further probing into each topic, no conversation from the interviewer... just a lot "uh huhs" and "oks" and furious typing. At the end of the interview, she asked if I would like to be scheduled for an assessment test at their facility and I declined because the interview has been so off putting. The interview style gave me the impression that this company treats employees like cattle.
