I interviewed for an agency in my city. The first three interviews went well. Then the interviewer vanished for a week or so. I thought things were done after following up a few times with no response. Then I heard from them again a month later, the position was infilled and they wanted me to come in and meet the team.
So I did, they made fun of my suit, they grilled me and then acted like I was unsure of the job roles... however I’d gone over them many times in the listing, prepared, and had three successful interviews. The person I originally interviewed was there, I have him an odd look, he gave me an “I’m sorry” shrug. And I left, perplexed. I was polite and professional the entire time.
Then they called again, now the CEO wants to meet me face to face. So I did, the other person who was his partner didn’t show up until 40 minutes later. I was having a great time with the CEO and asked him a lot about how he built the company, what the future looked like, and what Em he enjoyed most about the culture. I was getting into my work and history when the second individual showed up. He arrived, interrupted the story unintroduced, made fun of my suit, looked at his watch, and gave me an annoying look.
I started from the beginning as requested, I got a sentence in and he nudged the CEO and said “were late”. And that was that.
While they were walking away he made fun of my suit again.
No, really. In my case I went with white-green because I liked it. It was quite obvious that it made the bank employees feel unsure if they should mock me or if I was some sort of secret celebrity.
