      Purchaser Interview

      16 Mar 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Calgary, AB
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Roofmart (Calgary, AB) in Nov 2017

      Interview

      I was recruited on LinkedIn by a third party company who do a lot of recruiting for Rpogmart, although mostly in Sales, however they were approached by the Roofmart team to recruit a purchaser to add to the group. After meeting with the recruiter (September) I was informed that she thought I was a good fit and would put me forward as the third party candidate's best prospect. In November I was scheduled for an interview with a senior manager at Roofmart. The interview with him lasted about 45 minutes. During that time I wasn't asked a single real question. I spent most of the time listening to him complain about the fact that it would be impossible to hire an external person into the role and there was no way I could possibly do the job without spending months working in the store memorizing sku's and truly understanding the depth and nuance of a roofing company. At the conclusion of the interview we shook hands and I never heard from him or the recruiter again.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      I was really only asked a series of rhetorical questions, like: "how can I possibly hire someone who hasn't worked in this business before
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      One question he did ask and actually wanted to know the answer to was "how many words per minute could I type"
