I had several interviews at Owens & Minor for a position I was applying for.
Each interview not only lasted approx. one hour. They conducted these interviews over several days, so you had to come back. I showed up each day (unsure if I would get this position) to be interviewed. During one interview, The head of the department interviewed me for one hour. She then showed me the desk "I" would be working at, introduced me to a person "I" would be working with. Showed me what "I" would be doing in this position. All the while telling me "this is what you'll be doing". She told me HR would be contacting me next week. I have seven years experience in the field I was appling for, and six years experience in management. I waited for a week, left a message for the head of HR, letting her know what this woman said to me. I never received a phone call back. I called the second week, finally got a hold of HR only to be told they hired someone else for the position. I informed HR what this woman said to me, and how she came across. That she never said to me "The person who would fill this position would be doing this, or that".
I felt very mislead by this "so called" manager. Her actions, and wording were totally unprofessional. If it wasn't for me calling them, I never would have known they hired another person. Owens & Minor never had the common courtesy to send me a letter once the position was filled. I am an Office Manager (six years) and it is the policy of the company I work for to send out a letter to each candidate that applied for a position. It's called Professionalism. Something most companies like Ownes & Minor fail to do. Tell me would you really work for a company who does not have common courtesy?
