I applied for the role via LinkedIn, and shortly after, the Director of Comms reached out. Interestingly, the position was taken down within a day of being posted, looking back, that should have been a red flag. During the interview, I was surprised by the interviewer’s appearance and setting. He looked like he hasn’t slept for a day and was sitting in a corner of a room, possibly on a bean bag or something. This was unexpected given how polished and professional his LinkedIn profile appeared, complete with glowing testimonials and a background as a content creator. Throughout the call, he kept glancing off to the side of the screen, almost like he was trying not to laugh at something happening off-camera. It was highly unprofessional and dismissive. At one point, he mentioned that the company is owned by the father of a well-known Singaporean socialite—you can probably figure out who with a quick Google search. From that point on, it became clear to me that they were likely planning to hire someone from within their inner circle. Hello nepotism. Lol. Don’t get me wrong I’m all for it. But I just don’t like how the interviewer wasted my time when clearly this was just done to waste ppl time or maybe he’s just bored and needed to show he did something.
