Did not like that when I went to get the job discription and notes I had prepared for interview out they said I wasn’t allowed to use any notes and should have asked before as an adjustment.
I’ve never been to an interview before and been stopped. It was just the JD and a sheet where I had written three questions I wanted to ask at the end but even after explaining that I wasn’t allowed to use.
Despite this I got the job.
