Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - There was a significant lack of effective communication among the HR staff. One HR representative advised candidates to wait for the second round of interviews, while another staff member, responsible for collecting resumes, told candidates they could go home in a rude manner. Subsequently, they called and inquired about the candidates' whereabouts, being informed that the candidates had gone home because your staff had instructed them to do so. The response was simply "Okay," with no further discussion about whether they would proceed to a second round of interviews.
