Challenging questions. Interview set up for a sales position more than reception role. I have a lot of reception experience and went in with confidence since this was the role specified on the application and ad, but left feeling certain I wouldn’t get the job because he wanted someone who would be suited for a sales role. He was nice and an experienced interviewer, but should have been clear on the application exactly what experience he was looking for in a candidate.
It was very simple interview process with a couple of basic questions probably around 5 different questions all via phone call that I got to schedule a time slot for.

Interview
I was quickly contacted by a contacted by a recruiter after applying. The interview wasn't central time, so it was at 7 a.m. The recruiter asked if I was bilingual..after completing the application, I would think they would review the information. Anyway as quick as our conversation was, I received a rejection letter, I believe on the same day.
