      I interviewed at GRAIL

      Interview

      I had such a poor phone screen with a recruiter from here. I cannot believe that she is even employed at Grail. She was hostile from the beginning and said “I only wanted to speak with you because I want to know why you applied for a coordinator role when you’re currently a recruiter.” Regarding my resume, she implied that it was spotty and asked in a judgy tone: “what do you want to be when you grow up?” After I answered her question of why I like recruiting, she said “part of your answer made me cringe.” Finally, she said she would get back to me 2 days later, and I didn’t hear from her on the specified day. As a recruiter, I KNOW that you don’t have to be mean in order to obtain the information that you need. Honestly, this interview made me cringe. I would advise to not start off the interview with hostility by 1) having zero small talk and 2) asking why I’m applying for a coordinator role and why I want to leave my current role.. right off the bat. This interview was extremely unfriendly and rude, and I don’t even want to work with a catty person. I’m sure other recruiters wonder what I want to be when I grow up, as I’ve changed my career a few times, but they definitely ask it in a different manner.
