Job interview for 12pm

10 candidates all booked in for 12pm being seen individually by one person.

So whoever is here last will presumably be interviewed an hour later than booked.

Also as an aside when did it become normal to wear trackie bottoms and old trainers to an interview?

When you don't want the job.

Honest I’d have thought that too but maybe that comes from the privilege of being told from school age that you dress professionally for interviews- I wore a shirt and suit trousers age 15 to a pound shop interview! Some people may not have been told this

A year or so ago I related the story of how a Year 10 pupil had turned up to school in the morning wearing a low slung pair of jeans and a cropped top to show of her belly piercing, she was going to her mock interview as a part of work experience programme later in the day. I told of how I had talked to her, in private, about dressing appropriately for certain events and the following day her mother phoned to complain about me. On this site a few said I had humiliated the girl, it was none of my business. Trying to give advice can be tricky it seems!

Tempted to see it through.

It’s for a dental surgery.

Is this to show what the patients experience and establish which candidates can get their points/skills across in the time of a GP/NHS dentist appointment??

Sorry, haven’t got time to read the whole thread…… but wondered if the order people went into the interview room was by their boob size 😂😂 perhaps it’s a new, unknown prerequisite for a dental receptionist?

How old is his son. Set up to see how you engage with kids or if older to observe demeanour/ patience of interviewees?
