What impressed you negatively?

"I did not feel comfortable in the interview. Each of my answers were treated as if they were wrong, and each answer was "one up-ed". I was asked if I had experience working long shifts, like 24 hour shifts. When I said I had limited experience, she replied that it would be more than limited experience, it would be constant experience. I got the feeling that she was trying to scare me. I currently live in Chicago, and to start the interview I was told that I do not pronounce the name of the city correctly. I left the interview with the feeling that the interviewers were pesimistic about my answers." Report Response
