Finally hit my breaking point.
I was so incredibly unprofessional on an interview today and I don’t care in the slightest. Basically applied to an Entry level cold calling job for a software sales company. I had some experience doing D2D and retail sales so I figured why not, the Indeed page mentions 5 times they train you and no experience is required so I might as well try it. Phone screening and zoom interview with the Recruiter go by like a breeze, and at first I was a little suspicious. She then told me I’d have one zoom interview with my would be supervisor and then an in person interview with the office director (4 steps for an entry level job but no biggie I get that’s how things are). She sends me an email basically outlining how the whole zoom interview is gonna go emphasizing that I don’t need to focus on my sales background and I just need to seem marketable since the job is exclusively over the phone. Fast forward to the interview my would be supervisor/interviewer proceeds to dissect every single line of my resume, wanting to know every step of the sales process where I’ve worked. At one point suggesting he didn’t even believe I worked at the companies I listed (who in their right mind would ever lie about a D2D position lmao not the most prestigious job title). He then could not accept the fact that I had a 2 month gap in my resume, questioning how I was living or why was I not able to find employment, going so far as to ask me what other companies I’ve interviewed for and looking them up during the interview to “confirm they’re real references”. I literally cut him off mid sentence and said “You do know the job application makes zero mention of sales experience right? Or are you just doing this to be an a**?” (Okay that last part didn’t come out fully correct bc I literally choked on my words I couldn’t believe I just said that). He basically told me he didn’t think my attitude was a good fit, I told him I see why the entry level position is still up on Indeed, and ended the zoom.
Sorry for the rant but I’m in that weird phase where I feel very excited that I just did that but also miserable I lost out on another job opportunity.
