      Administrative Assistant Interview

      19 Jan 2010
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Barclays in Dec 2009

      Interview

      I was contacted by a staffing agency. I had two interviews, the first one went well, the interviewer was pleasant. Second interview did not go well. The interviewer was bored, or possibly tired, the interviewer yawned several times during the interview. The interviewer did not read through my resume prior to our meeting and seemed completely disinterested and somewhat annoyed. The interviewer made it a point to mention that they were looking for the right "fit" and the skill set that a potential candidate might have , no matter how good was secondary.

      I interviewed at Barclays (London, England)

      Interview

      If I had to narrow it down, I would say that the best description of the interview process as a whole is that it was professional and comfortable overall. The recruitment team did a great job keeping me informed along the way.
