Initial interviews went well, good conversation. However, after getting the "test" portion of the interview, I experienced a sudden pet loss. After explaining the situation and wanting to put my best work forward, I asked for a few more days to submit my test. Here's a part of the response I got back: “the ability to manage and deliver work under challenging circumstances is a crucial aspect of the role we are looking to fill.” Translation: the person we hire has to suck it up and do the work—regardless of traumatic loss. If this is how you treat job seekers, I can only imagine what it’s like for your actual employees. Situations like this highlight your company values, and I know everything I need to know now. Thanks for saving me from making a huge mistake.
