He advertises a service where he coaches people on doing interviews. You don’t gain by making your interviewer uncomfortable.

I started in financial and legal, and now all advertising agency searches. That’s different than sending a gift to someone who you’re interviewing with. He jumped through hoops for them with video interviews and finally was flown to NYC to meet with the top people on the team, and he interviewed all day.

During my interview for a job recently, I had to rewrite event copy (which I thought was hypothetical). After my third interview, I noticed that they used my material for their event!

Our office staff works behind a locked door, to protect customer information (we deal heavily with personal data and banking info in our sales process). Was this bad interview experience a test?

I work at a bank branch of about 17 people, nine of whom are male. I wouldn’t be advertising it around the office because this would be a “guys weekend,” but since all the guys in the office are being invited, I’m anticipating the women in the office hearing about it and causing some drama.
