The recruiter at SGK initially sent a generic email requesting my availability to meet over the next several days. I promptly responded with multiple time options within that timeframe. However, I received no response. Two and four days later, I followed up with additional emails, but again, no reply from the recruiter.
A week later, on a Wednesday, the recruiter sent a personal email asking, “Would you have time Friday or early next week to chat?” Once again, I responded promptly, providing availability on Friday and early the following week. Still, I heard nothing in return. The following Monday, I received another email from the recruiter, stating, “I don’t know how I forgot we were off Friday,” and confirming a time to speak on Tuesday. Later that day, the recruiter requested a time change to the end of the day on Tuesday.
When we finally met via Zoom, the recruiter mentioned having a poor internet connection and decided not to turn on her camera. The interview felt very one-sided, with minimal engagement on her part. Most of her responses consisted of “yeah” and “uh-hum,” making it seem as though she was preoccupied with something else during our conversation. Overall, this was the least professional interview experience I’ve ever had.
