Useless applying for a job at Smollan

My spouse was called in for an interview which I app**** for him...cut the long story short... he said the lady degraded him, she didnt even bother interviewing him; he informed him that he was the only external candidate anyway so in order not to waste his time an internal candidate was selected for the position (DC Controller).<br> <br> I mean why waste peoples time and money, advertising positions and when their invited to the interview their not even interviewed. What type of HR Manager is this that boasts to candidates about the knowledge she has gained and that shes been in the business for years and that my spouse knows nothing. <br> <br> We are obviously aware that companies select internal candidates as first preference for a position; so why waste someones time who is willing to gain experience and knowledge in a new environment and then boast about your qualifications and humiliate people.<br> <br> The HR lady just told him to rather settle for a Merchandiser postion which pays far less than where his currently working, which doesnt make sense to me, so clearly she just didnt want him there.<br> <br> Dont expect to be interviewed at Smollan!<br> <br> Waste of time thats what they will tell you!
