Job Interview Experience
Went for a job interview at this company recently - never have I felt so uncomfortable and embarrassed. Never will I ever be told what my worth is by a company based off of questions and made to feel stupid or because I didn't answer the questions the way they wanted me too and then want to cut my salary expectation in half because according to them that is what "I am worth". Its so inhumane to talk to a person that way, formally you should let an applicant know rather that they are not suited for the position than try break an individual down.

Exploitation of job seekers by dogdy companies
I applied for a job at this company that they had advertised on Locantojobs, the position was an Executive Assistant. Their Sales Manager, Jose called me for an interview and the interview seemed to have gone well. He told me that they were looking for someone that they would train into the position and I already had the characteristics they required in that person but, he would have to talk to his team and then contact me. The interview was just before they closed for Christmas but he even estimated that he would like for me to start before the holidays, although they only needed me to start in the new year. Days went by and the festive holidays went by without a call from him. I then emailed him on the day he had told me that they would be back and Jose emailed back and said they had tried to contact me but were unsuccessful, which they had not because I had no sign of a missed call or even an email from them prior to my contact with them. I then replied and told Jose that I was not aware of such but he can call me again, which he did not. I then took it upon myself to call and follow up but he gave me the run-around, their receptionist told me that she left messages on his desk and there was a point when she told me that he is in a meeting when he was actually in front of her, refusing to take my call (which she told me later on when I called again). The next day I received an email from him, saying my CV was discussed and their requirements, and they will give me a call when available. About less than an hour after that I received a call from a gentleman by the name of Sukesh, who began by saying I'm looking for a lot of money for something they cannot see (which left me puzzled but mostly, offended) and he went on to say that he does not see what sort of experience I have meanwhile, my CV clearly states even duties I have performed in all the roles I have held at my previous jobs and I have worked for Netcare, ER24, Janssen, Multichoice (to mention only a few companies). After I explained to him that most of my experience is in the Accounting field, he then went on to ask me what a journal is in a very undermining tone. As I was trying to answer that while trying my best to not be offended and before I could even get to the point of the answer, he quickly jumped in and said I don't even know what a journal is, and by this time I was struggling to hear him due to poor signal, but he kept asking the questions as if he was attacking me and trying to prove a point. The phone eventually got cut off and I went to the shop to get airtime so I can call him back. On my way, he called again and I then explained to him how bullied he is making me feel because my CV clearly states exactly what experience I have acquired over the 12+ years that I have worked and if there was anything they were unclear about, they should've asked me at the interview or if they feel I'm not the right fit for the job, they should have deemed my interview unsuccessful, not try to bully me into admitting that I am not worth what I believe I am because that is not fair but he went on to say that I could not even answer a simple question as what a journal is, when in fact he did not even give me a chance. I have no problem with an unsuccessful interview but I do have a problem with Sukesh trying to make me feel less of what I am worth simply because it did not suit what they were planning to pay the person they hire (mind you, I had already given them a much, much lower expected salary than what I had been previously paid). Does he mean that none of these companies I have worked for know what they are doing, since I have never had a problem of incompetence before in all the years I have worked?
