Phone Interview...was set up the day before and was done with a conference call. The person I initially had contact with along with a higher executive, who was rude, pompous and unprofessional.
The who call lasted less than a minute as I was told how CNN has "changed" and how I was no longer qualified, even though I used to direct for them as a freelancer in the past. I was stunned by how they conducted themselves.
