      Shipping/Receiving Clerk Interview

      15 Nov 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Springfield, OH
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Dole Food Company (Springfield, OH) in Oct 2024

      Interview

      They have separate teams for hourly and salaried positions. If you’re interested in multiple roles, don’t expect them to share your application between teams because they’re competing for the same resource. You need to manually enter your resume information and answer some personal questions. They want to know what year you graduated high school and attended college. Those are questions that help determine a candidate’s age, which violates the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). The year you graduated from high school is irrelevant. If a candidate needs to be of a certain age, most companies ask if you’re over that age, not your specific age. Unfortunately, the interview process was also bad. Although the interviewer was friendly, she was clearly unprepared and lacked experience in interviewing. She knew nothing about me beyond my name because no one forwarded my resume to her. She asked a few questions, then spent more time talking about minor details of the job than learning about my skillset. I had to interrupt from time to time to explain how my experience matched their requirements. This kind of oversight could have been avoided if a manager or HR representative had been present. With over a decade of industry experience, I was qualified for this role and have the skills to be considered for higher-tier opportunities. If more experienced interviewers were present, they may have seen my potential. This is the same location that has faced multiple contamination issues and mishandled its COVID-19 response, resulting in a quarter of the staff being infected (according to the news). It’s hard not to draw a straight line from these incidences to their awful recruiting process.
