I applied online. I interviewed at RD Consulting (Australia)
Interview
The entire interview process was unfocused, confusing, and a waste of time.
I took an interview for a job advertised as 'cinematographer' and even after reading some of the comments and reviews, I decided to see for myself. The interview with two guys from the company started out with many "hey bro, thanks for coming in man" type language and then spiraled from there.
15 or so minutes of 'bro' guy speaking to me about god knows what before telling me "we're just putting out feelers to see whats out there man, ideally someone full time" the rest of the interview was this guy continuing to talk, again I cant remember if any of it was actually relevant. at the end of the interview and having only answered maybe 2 or 3 questions, the role had changed from cinematographer to like a ....producer/videographer/editor/director/2 days in some data entry or something. I actually have no idea.
They asked me to email with a figure for full time and then my half and full day rates, which I did after considering if I should even bother - just to see what the reply would be. Nothing. Nada.
Followed up. Nada.
After taking the time to come in and interview for a defence contractor (honestly seems like their only client) and having been asked to submit my salary expectations I would have assumed its pretty simple to send a "thank you we'll take it into consideration" at least.
But it was definitely a waste of time and I'm pretty sure they had no idea what they could or were offering.
