The phone interview was over before it started, the first question was "Are you a tobacco user" in which I reply "yes" as soon as I said that the recruiter stated Scotts was a tobacco free workplace and immediately terminated the conversation. It would have been nice if that policy was stated in the job posting so good qualified people don't apply for a job that does not want them.
