Interview
I applied for a position as an AGM. The position stated that it was available on the BAM website. During the interview I was told that only bookseller positions were available. Would've been helpful to know that prior to my interview instead of wasting my time. Got an offer as a bookseller, but that was absolutely not what I applied for.
