I applied and had a phone interview with the recruiter. I sent her loads of PPT samples to forward to the hiring manager. She emailed back the next day, “Good news the Hiring Manager would like to meet you in person next week.” I met with him and a woman whose title I can't recall. The samples I had sent via the recruiter were essential to the interview being successful. Imagine my shock when I referenced them and both interviewers’ response was, "No, sorry, I didn't get a chance to look at those." The woman even admitted to not even having looked at my online portfolio. In addition to not looking at any of my work, they did not bring any samples of the work being produced -- neither via a laptop or mobile device, nor simple printouts. I realize now that at this point I should have ended the interview and walked out. During the “wrap-up,” the hiring mgr asked if I'm capable of working with senior-level executives (a rather offensive question). I responded that if he would take the time to visit my LinkedIn profile he'd see several nice reviews written from senior VPs from my previous employer. He then asked me if I have any questions, to which I explained that he really hasn't shown me anything relevant and he hasn't looked at my material, hence asking questions is rather impossible at this point. He suggested I look at the VCE website, and I responded that I did indeed look throughout the site for a sample presentation but could only find whitepapers. He said, "Yeah, there's nothing there, I'll see if I can find a few samples to send you." Of course, I never received any samples my LinkedIn profile never did receive any views from them, and I never even received a rejection email. In summary, this "interview" was a complete waste of time, based on the incredible amount of disinterest these two people exhibited in learning about my background. Interviewing is a two-way street. Just as it is my responsibility to learn about the company and ask questions (which I did), it is the responsibility of the hiring party to do their own research into the candidate, which in this case would have included reviewing the sample files I provided and my online portfolio. The fact that these two people did nothing beyond reading my resume tells me that either (a) the job never existed, (b) they had already chosen a candidate and this interview was just done to satisfy a quota, or (c) they just don't care about finding the best candidate.
