‘The out-of-control Interview
‘Maria Femandez is a bright, popular and well-informed mechanical engineer who
Graduated with an engineering degree from State University in June 2003. During
spring preceding her graduation, she went out on many job interviews, most
olin she thought were conducted courteously and were feasonably useluin
giving both her and the prospective employer a good impression of where each
of them stood on matters of importance to both of them. It was, therefore, with
great anticipation that she looked forward to an interview with the one firm in
which she most wanted to work : Apex Environmental. She always had a
interest in cleaning up the environment and firmly believed that the best use of
her training and skits lay in working for firm like Apex, where she thought she
could have a successful career while making the world a better place,
The interview, however, was a disaster. Maria walked into a room in which five
men-The President of the company, two Vice Presidents, the marketing director
and another engineer-began throwing questions at her that she felt were aimed
peimatty tipping her up rather than Binding out what she coud ofr trough
her engineering skills. The questions ranged from unnecessarily discourteous
(Why would you take a job as a waitress in college if you're such an intelligent
person?”) to inr@levant and sexist (“Are you planning on settling down and starting
a family anytime soon 7°}. Then after the interview, she met with two af the
gentlemen individually (including the President), and the discussions focused
Simost exclusively on her technical expertise, ‘She thought that these later
discussions went fairty well. However, er te operons ah renenens a eeen
mean-spiritediness of the pane! interview, she was astonished when several days
later she got a job offer from the firm.
‘The offer forced her to consider several matters. From her point af view, the job
itself was perfect.she liked what she would be doing, the industry and the firm's
location. And in fact, the President had been quite courteous in subsequent
discussions, as had been the other members of the management team. She was
left wandering whether the panel interview had been intentionally tense to see
how she'd stand up under pressuro, and, if so, why they would do such a thing,
Questions:
1) How would you explain the nature of the panel interview Maria had to endure ?
‘Specifically, do you think it reflected a well-thought-out interviewing strategy
on the part of the firm or carelessness on the part of the firm's management ?
ititwas carelessness, what would you do to improve the interview process at
Apex Environmental ?
2) Would you take the job offer if you were Maria ? If you're not sure, is there
