I had previously worked for DHL, doing pretty much the same job as posted and had really enjoyed it. I left on good terms, so when the job showed up again, I was thinking I was a pretty good fit. I emailed the recruiter and heard nothing for about 2 weeks. Then I got an email from another recruiter asking to set up a screening interview. I replied and we set a time. The following day, I got a phone call from the original recruiter asking to set up a screening interview... who seemed pretty surprised that I already had a screening interview set up with someone else. Hmmm. Anyway, went ahead with the scheduled interview. Basic questions, background, tell me about yourself, etc, etc. 40 mins or so. Then she says "tell me about your sales experience." Huh? I don't have any sales experience, There is not a single mention of sales on my resume. "Well," she informs me, "the hiring manager feels it's critically important that every candidate have solid sales experience. She's not interested in moving anyone forward who doesn't have sales experience. Especially since a huge part of this role is cold calling." What?! Not a word about sales in job description, much less cold calling! At this point I've spent roughly 45 mins on the phone. If sales experience is a critical requirement, couldn't we have gotten there FIRST? Sigh. Then, as I explain I have zero sales experience, and not much interest in cold calling, surprisingly SHE gets all snotty, like it's my fault that she can't write a job description or read a resume. More evidence towards my ever growing suspicion that recruiters, as a group (with some exceptions, but few and far between) are in general a bunch of nit-wit knuckleheads in need of an attitude adjustment and a large belt of common sense, ADHD medication and training in basic communication skills. I barely used them when I was a hiring manager and the soundness of this decision is reinforced with nearly every interaction with them since. Anyway, she says she'll get back to me ASAP, which is odd, since I had already told her I wasn't interested. Add listening skills to the "needs to improve" column for recruiters. Of course, she never did actually get back, either via email, phone, text, mail, smoke signal nor carrier pigeon. And this is how I was treated as previous successful director level employee.
