I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Stifel Financial (London, England) in Jan 2019
Interview
The interview process was the most distressing experience of my life, almost abysmal when i reflect. It took the executive assistant 3 weeks of cancelling and rescheduling, multiple times to finally book an interview. Also, she was extremely rude over the phone. Finally on the day of my interview with the director, it seemed like she was just having a look at my CV that minute and within minutes came to the conclusion that I was unfit for the role. She raised her voice at me several times and belittled me every chance she got. She even went so far to say "what were you thinking applying to this role?!" and "you're a young bubbly girl, why don't you do something like sales? They are always looking for girls". Truly appalling.

Interview
The whole interview process was extremely distressing, almost abysmal when I reflect. It took the executive assistant, weeks to schedule the interview after delaying it 3-4 times. She was also very rude over the phone. When I finally arrived at the interview, it seemed that the director had only looked at my CV at that moment and within the first few minutes she told me I was unfit for the role. She raised her voice several times at me during the interview and went so far to say, "what were you thinking when applying to this role!?" It's such a shameful thing to call a candidate for an interview and then make them feel worthless.
