Passed the online application of who I would like to meet with alive or dead and what superhero I would like to be.... Passed the online video interview of eight questions and had a phone interview with a very young recruiter... She use the word 'awesome' at least ten times... we had a nice email exchange after that phone interview only to receive a email this morning basically stating 'that other candidates better suited their needs'. Here's my actual take of the interview process - salary is low but I thought I would be a good fit. I like helping people, definitely have the technical skills (over fifteen (15) years in accounting) and love fashion. Husband was just saying this morning to be me before I got their 'thanks but you just don't fit what we are looking for email' - that I would get tired of the college like atmosphere real quickly and it probably was not the best place for me in the long run. I think the CEO is brilliant but he is in his forties now and should probably grow up. Reminds me too much of an old friend I know - a person who thinks college time was his best and greatest time and wants to relive it as much as possible for as long as possible. I have a distinct feeling that the average employee's age at Zappos is under 32. I think if the young recruiter said the word 'awesome' one more time during our phone interview - I would start to laugh or puke... :) Since they are now owned by Amazon - it is just a manner of time before they are hit with age discrimination lawsuit... just my thoughts and would not be interested in pursuing any other opportunities with them and accepted a position with another larger, better known company this morning.
