I just had a career fair last week.
Company 1: met them, said that my dad actually knows them and the guy said that he probably knows my dad as well, gave him my resume, everything seemed cool
Today I get an email from the company saying that if I want more information regarding employment, I should go to their careers website and submit my resume for consideration.
Company 2: Whirlpool
From this thread.
lol, I knew that this one wasn't going to end well.
I went through the interview, and throughout the whole thing I could just tell that they weren't impressed. They tried to fake the niceties but did it badly. I have to say that they didn't seem too enthusiastic about the company that they worked for as well. I said how I loved their KitchenAid mixers because they do literally everything and that I've wanted one for a long time because I like to cook, and they basically said, "yeah, we make it." I sensed no love in them for what they produce. I mentioned that my dad works for a company that has been one of their suppliers for 20 years, and they basically said, "oh, ok" even though on their Utopian website they say how much they value their relationships, blah blah blah.
So at the end they said that my next step should be to go to their careers website and submit my resume, etc. I was almost about to just get up and leave and stop wasting my time.
All the interviews that I have that seem to be going anywhere are being fed up the "tiers" to other interviewers. None of this "go to the company website" stuff.
