      Horticultural Writer Interview

      2 Apr 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at White Flower Farm in Apr 2011

      Interview

      This group seems like a nice bunch of garden club ladies. This may or may not be a fair statement, but it is my personal impression: I get the sense that they run the organization with an iron fist in a gardening glove. I'm not sure of their business prowess; however, they managed to make a little profit during the recession, which says something about their business sense. And they are a $15 million company--and they have been around forever. So they're obviously doing a lot of things right. The office complex is beautiful, and it seems like it would be a great physical environment in which to work. There was a sense that the interviewers were not all on the same page when it came to the type of experience and skills they wanted to see in the person hired for the job. Also, one of the interviewers actually told me they would prefer to hire someone who was unemployed because it would be less of a risk if they didn't work out. Yikes. Right then and there, I knew I'd never get the job. It was an odd statement to make to a candidate who was gainfully employed, and I wondered why I was called for an interview in the first place if that was their thinking. I also wondered if the company wasn't chasing after the tax credit that businesses get these days for hiring unemployed or underemployed workers who have been out of work for at least six months. I don't know that they are or aren't, but the statement (which was made by the president) gave me considerable pause. But overall, the interview experience was pleasant. A little strange/entertaining, perhaps, but that's typical. The company is located in Litchfield County, Connecticut, so there is an air of provinciality and all that it implies. Those of us who live in the region understand this. :) But when all was said and done, everyone at WFF was very nice. I'm happy to have participated in the interview process, even though the job went to someone else.

      Question 1

      I notice that you aren't involved in any garden clubs. Why not?
