I applied on line, an HR person called me a couple of weeks later, and then scheduled a 1:1 interview a few weeks after that. It was unclear what position I was interviewing for, she said 'come in for a chat'. I admit I had some reservations going in as I had heard some bad things about the company. I arrived 15 minutes early and looked for a parking place per the HR lady, "in front or on the side of the building". There was zero parking and the only spaces were far away at the adjacent strip center, all marked "1 hour parking only". I didn't know how long my interview would last, so when I got to the reception area (still 5 minutes early) I asked the receptionist if I would be towed. She advised me that there was a parking garage down the block and I should move my car there. I told her that would make me late by the time I walked back to my car, moved it and walked back down the block to the building. She said she would let the interviewer know. So by the time I got into the interviewer's office, it was probably 10 after the hour. The Interviewer gave me an overview of his career, some information about the Charming Charlie business, gave a laundry list of all the recent hires who each had "20-30 years experience" in retail, and then asked me about "my marketing passion". We spent a short time discussing my experience and general marketing and advertising topics where he made several scornful remarks about "blondes" in various advertising campaigns. I'm blonde. The he asked me about "my marketing passion" again (I had already answered that question). Long story short, he did 90% of the talking, and then abruptly ended the interview at about 5-10 minutes before the hour saying he had another interview coming up right away and blaming me for the parking problem. And, could I follow up with an email describing why they might want to hire me and what position I should fill. I said I had a bunch of questions for him that I had no chance to ask. He asked me to include that in the Emai or that we could have a follow up call. In other words, beg for a job I still didn't know very much about, without giving any reason why Charming Charlie would be a good place to work. The next day I sent an Email with several questions. He never replied, which is fine because I would never work for that company. By the way, walking through the floor to the Interviewers office, we passed by many many young girls (no one over 25) crammed at work stations (not even cubicles). They did seem to be having fun, sorting through boxes of plastic wrapped cheap jewelry. However I didn't catch even a glimpse of any of the high powered new hires he talked about.
