I applied online and was then contacted by a recruiter some 3 or 4 weeks later. Another few weeks passed by and they called back asking me to come in for an interview. The interview was scheduled to last approximately 2 hours and I was supposed to talk to 4 different people, all individually.
First, I talked with the Project Manager on site and she was great! Very friendly and she knew what she was doing, etc. She asked some very basic questions that you would expect for this type of position. Are you proficient in excel? Are you familiar with v-lookup/h-lookup and pivot tables in excel?
The second person I talked to was the actual IT Asset Manager that I would report to. I expected her to ask me questions much like the previous interviewer did. However, she complained about HER job for about 45 minutes and might have sprinkled in 2 questions in that time frame. Very unprofessional to say the least.
The third person I talked to was someone in the finance department and I was only able to talk to her briefly because the second interviewer took so long to complain about how she was being over-worked.
Now, the last person I was supposed to talk to was the office manager of sorts, but he was out of town for the week. So I had the pleasant opportunity to speak with someone from the IT department. Well, it would have been pleasant except that he was a jerk and made it pretty obvious that he didn't want to be there doing the interview.
Not to mention that the job description was very, very misleading. Somehow the IT Asset Manager Support role morphed into a glorified data entry job. In summary, two of the people I talked to were great and the other two were not. Not real pleased with the whole interview experience, but nevertheless, it was experience. Probably wouldn't have accepted the job even had they offered. Life is too short to work with people who complain about their jobs all day.
