Interview
He belittled my experience, made me extremely uncomfortable with myself, I could barely get a word out when answering his questions because I kept being interrupted, worst of all he asked me if I’d be a sales associate even though that was not the position I was applying for. It’s ok if they believed my experience wasn’t a good fit for the role, but if that was the case I shouldn’t have gotten an interview for the visual position to begin with. If I wanted to be a sales associate I would’ve applied to be one. I tried to point this out but again couldn’t get a word out so I just said it wouldn’t be a good fit and left.
