I have been planning for my transition from the military (Logistics/Supply Officer, 20+ yrs, post-graduate degree) for years now. I am in the final stages of interviewing with numerous companies and have two very generous offers on the table from Fortune 50 companies. I applied to a Sears Distribution/Logistics position in an Operations Manager capacity and received (but missed) a phone call. I immidiately returned the call minutes later and after I identified myself the manager responded with "what's your deal?" I thought that was a strange first line, but he went onto say "are you looking for a job or not." I stayed professional, gave my 30 sec elevator speech but the individual continued to essentially talk down to me. The individual told me the salary range and I said that was a little under what I was looking for and that maybe I was not a good match for the position. The interviewer then gave me a mocking "after you've looked around and not found anything give me a call and maybe we can talk." I wanted to tell him that I have much better written offers from your companies competitors, the same competitors running your organization out of business, but I thanked him and said my goodbyes. Since that interview this morning I have deleted my candidate profile from the Sears Corp website. If any of my contacts ask about potential employers I will surely tell them which company I would avoid. I may not be the right fit for the position I applied for, but recruiters and hiring managers should realize that they are the face of the company.
