Studio Manager Trainee Interview

Aug 17, 2022

Anonymous Interview Candidate

No offer

Negative experience

Average interview

Application

I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at JCP Portraits (Lake Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2022

Interview

Extremely rude and professional. Someone from this company reached out to me. The person expressed interest in my experience for this position. I booked an interview for this position in a timely manner, only to be told eight minutes before said interview that they were going in a different direction. The hiring manager should let potential employees know ahead of time about certain updates or not post at all if the position isn't what they are looking for.
