Entrevista
This was one of the most disappointing interviews. I've always wanted to work for Restoration Hardware, but after this interview process, I will never apply again. It was a very unprofessional process. Initially, I was emailed about setting up a time to speak on the phone. I emailed back and said when I was available according to the dates that were presented to me. I waited for a response, but more than a week went by so I wrote a follow up email. Several days later, I still had not received a confirmation email and it was the day of the supposed interview. A few hours later I received an email saying she has been busy and she will follow up with me tomorrow. No worries. Then, the next day, waiting for her response, I receive an email and then a text stating that she has me on her calendar and is running late for our phone call one minute before our supposed interview. She never told me we actually had an interview planned or confirmed a time or date. I told her I could be available but was unaware of the interview on this date or this time. She then said she wouldn't make the call and would call tomorrow. She did call the next day but was late. The interview was fine, pretty basic questions, she talked a lot and cut my answers off a few times. She even put me on hold after asking me a question for some customers. She took the phone call outside, so it was also a little distracting. Overall, the actual interview wasn't horrible, but the whole thing seemed so unprofessional. She told me the next steps and said she was email me the details in the next few days for the second interview. I never heard from her. I also never followed up because I didn't feel like I wanted to work for someone who didn't respect me or my time.
Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en RH (Corte Madera, CA)
Entrevista
It started off quite well. I was reached out to by someone who I had a great connection with and we spoke about my background and desire to grow and potentially move to a Gallery Manager position once I learned the brand (a position for which I was more than qualified for. ) I discussed my only concern with my past experience with the recruiter and she assured me this was no issue at all and that with the rest of my background and experience this would not be a factor. I next met with the Gallery Manager and again a very pleasant experience and great conversation, I asked questions about her goals and about RH and the future of the brand and she gave me some "homework " which I thoroughly enjoyed. I had a phone interview with another recruiter and it went well with expected leadership and hiring questions. I next went to the HQ in Corte Madera and had another very enjoyable and informative meeting with one of their executives and toured their location in Corte Madera, again discussing things I would need to focus on in this new environment and of course my background. I was again informed thsr any concerns I may have with lack of experience in a certain area were no concern at all. Then another virtual interview with another executive in New York. The overall experience was engaging and exciting and I was sold on the brand. I got a call shortly after that they loved me, but the exact reason I mentioned in the first interview and several times later were why they decided I was not a good fit for Gallery Assistant Leader. I was later approached for a Gallery Leader position in a different location? I now had the one thing on my resume that was missing before.

Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en RH (King of Prussia, PA) en may 2020
Entrevista
-took place at King of Prussia, PA location
-it was brief but honestly felt like the longest interview of my life, and the woman who interviewed me seemed less then happy to be there. She was very short and curt and did not engage in any conversation with me.
-at the end of the interview she gave me a few words of advice which were "to make sure I thoroughly research where I'm interviewing at so that I present myself appropriately" (in reference to how I was dressed, aka not in all black).
-the way she carried herself throughout the whole interview was unwelcoming and it made me very uncomfortable. The was an air of 'you're not RH material' and she made sure I knew it.
-In the end I'm thankful I did not end up working there. I got a terrible feeling from the interview and I don't think I would have been happy, but regardless it was a horrible experience and I don't wish that on anyone. There's nothing like being nervous/excited for an interview and then totally being shut down and made to feel like you are not worth their time.
