Name a situation where you experienced a difficulty colleague and how did you handle it
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Colgate-Palmolive in May 2022
Interview
I applied for position and a few days later got an email from HR for screening interview. I suggest my availability and interview was scheduled on my first availability. One day after I saw an email showing my interview time has changed without any notice or asking about my availability. Since it already conflicted my schedule I wrote HR and asked if this is true. He confirmed the change and asked me if this works for me. Of course it did not and I kindly asked to reschedule on my next availability. In a few minutes my interview was cancelled and HR ghosted. I searched the company and had positive opinions about it. Now I need to rethink about it. This is not the way to treat prospective employees.
