Express Employment Professionals interview questions

First and foremost it is imperative to treat every person with respect. This office employs unorthodox ways of interviewing. It was an unpleasant and unwarranted feeling to wait patiently in the reception area as the interviewer dismantled the self esteem of the young lady interviewing before me. I feel that it is inappropriate to interview, or consider having an interview with the office door open so all the others, staff, and clients waiting in the reception room can hear the good, bad, or indifferent information about the interviewee. This is inappropriate behavior, degrading, and immoral to have any information up for grabs for listening ears like myself. I felt embarrassed to be in that establishment, or a lack there of.

I filled out an online application with my work experience and applied for a few office temp positions listed on their site. I was called in for an interview (can't remember how much time passed) at their office. They asked me to bring my driver's license and social security card. When I arrived, the receptionist had me take a few screening tests, one for basic math (I was allowed to use a calculator), one for filing (putting words in alphabetical order), and one for proofreading (looking for misspelled words). I also had to sign several waivers saying that I was willing to undergo a background check, drug test, etc. After completing the tests, I had my interview with one of the staffing people. He went through the past jobs that I had listed and asked what I did at each, what I liked, and what I didn't like. Also asked if I'd ever been late for work, missed work, and how I got around (car or public transit). He asked when I was available, what type of work I was looking for, and what pay I expected. (I said that I was available anytime and expected around $10/hr). My interviewer said that he thought they would be able to find temp work for me and he would give me a call. Before I left I also had to watch a video about getting health benefits and sign off on whether I wanted benefits or not.
