job interview? friend confused....
4 Answers
A girlfriend of mine went for a part time interview at a nursery school yesterday. The job was advertised as administrator wanted, 14 hours a week. This job was to check the registers, talk to parents of sick kids and general admin.
She had to type a letter, which she passed and then the board, 4 of them, asked her how she would prioritise her work, and she answered in the order that the work needed doing.
3 people applied and 2 got the interview she was told.
After ringing her to say she did sort of have the job, they then told her that 2 of her answers they weren't happy with and then told her the answers she should have given. They then inform her that instead of giving her a second interview they are going to readvertise the position and that she should apply again refilling new forms.
Is this a normal way of doing things? I'm a bit confused at their conduct. If they didn't want her why tell her to reapply? why not just give a second interview and then re advertise if she's truly not suitable. or.... just tell her she didn't get the job.
Any thoughts most welcome, as I am meeting her for lunch today and said I'd ask here for outside thoughts.
