Interview
I have never experienced such a confrontational, hostile and unfriendly screening ever...
I advise to avoid such an encounter!
I applied through the careers site using my CV and quite quickly organised a phone screening.
Upon answering the phone and before he even introduced hisself or the call purpose/ structure (the basics) the hostility started immediately with an attack on my LinkedIn profile... apparently he was very frustrated that my profile and CV has inconsistencies which was not good enough. He continued his confrontational approach (at one point I thought this was an act to test my ability to react with hostile situations and negotiate... I doubt this was the case, but if it was - can someone give this man an Oscar - perhaps the next James Bond villain?) and actually in two occasions attempted to twist my words and completely change the context of my responses - very frustrating.
When attempting to answer his question 'What do you know about LinkedIn?', he (very rudely and abruptly) interrupted me mid sentence with the phrase 'you should at least know the job before you start interviewing'.
Across the screening call I did not feel that I was provided with the opportunity to fully display my experience or personality - this was the most hostile and negative interview experience I has encountered.
Happy to follow this up with anyone in the company or recruitment team if feedback would be helpful - although I did not receive any automated feedback request (usual for such a company) so perhaps the quality of screenings is not a priority at this stage.
