Time Etc Interview Questions

Awful experience with everyone involved scam do not get involved with the company it’s a rip off and a disgrace in My opinion and no sort of organization at all for a company

HIRED AND THEN REJECTED VIA EMAIL. The interview process was super easy and the woman I spoke with was great. The conversation went so well I was HIRED. I received my job packet to complete all my personal information such as drivers license, social security, Paypal, etc. I submitted the information Saturday morning only to wake up Monday morning with a rejection email and they had too many other applications even though I was told the work flow is extremely slow Christmas time. My personal opinion is they saw my age or what I looked like and rejected me after I was extended the position and I signed my life away in the contract.

Colossal waste of time. I had to complete an online application form that took 1.5 hours. I then had a 'final stage' Zoom video call that lasted 1 hour. I was rejected as 'they have too many people employed'. This makes no sense, as it is like saying that you advertised for a role that doesn't exist. Why waste candidate's AND internal time on such a redundant process. It is simple - if you don't have vacancies, then don't put people through a lengthy recruitment process (and a convoluted one, at that). To be blunt, the person that interviewed me sounded semi literate. I'd say the decision makers are questionable, for a number of different reasons. TimeEtc said I would receive an outcome within 24 hours after the interview, yet they didn't even bother to let me know the outcome. Appalling experience from start to finish! And worse still - for a job that pays £11.00 an hour?! I am paid TRIPLE that from my other clients, and i didn't experience any of the unprofessionalism mentioned above with them.

I closely matched the job requirements, so applied online. I was e-mailed a questionnaire by Jane Reading. The very next day, before finding time to complete the form, I received another e-mail from Jane saying that they'd decided not to take things further. I expressed confusion and asked for feedback, but my e-mail was completely ignored. I later saw them repost the same advert with "junior" removed, but at a higher salary and requiring LESS experience than the junior position. Utterly confusing. Furthermore, e-mails addressed me by my first name's initial, so the recruiters can't be bothered to take the time to write your name. Rude. Overall, unprofessional and they clearly don't care about applicants - would advise people not to apply/get mugged off.

Telephone interview, then a chat with managers, then a more formal interview with the CEOs. In my first interview, I was asked what year I left high school, which to me, personally screamed "we need to know your age". The rest was pretty easy, and the interviewers were polite and interesting to talk to. Although everyone was very kind, I had a negative experience interviewing at the final stage. One of the interview questions was to tell the CEO about my childhood, asked very directly- which I found inappropriate and potentially distressing for some candidates- although for me I didn't mind answering. It felt more like I was being psychoanalysed than interviewed for a job. Personality tests are quite common in interviews, but I found this way of outright asking uncomfortable and unprofessional- after all, this was not congruent to the job role at all. I was not offered the role, but I was left a voicemail rather than given a phonecall to tell me that they decided not to choose me as they felt the role would not be fulfilling and wouldn't give me the progression I wanted. I appreciated their honesty. Overall the interviewers seemed very nice but I found some of the interview tactics intrusive and inappropriate- my advice to the interviewers: I would try to use less obvious tactics in a more fluid conversation to find out the answers to the questions you're posing to a candidate. But I did appreciate the time and experience. My advice to a candidate: it's all about personality and I don't believe past role experience comes into this type of role at all.

Telephone interview, very quick 10 mis, just to discuss your skillset and why you want to be a virtual assistant. Very friendly and warming. Quick decision given back by email.
