Friday Media Group Business Development Executive interview questions

Absolutely terrible experience. Originally applied for managers position which I was rejected for but HR asked if I would be interested in Business Development role which sounded a really great proposition as I thought they were a respectable company and the OTE was good. When I attended the 2 managers hadn't even bothered to read my CV before hand. My integrity was questioned based on recent job changes and after I explained they kept asking me the same question over and over again. I was asked whether I would be happy working with a manager younger than me which I found a very strange question. They promised to give me feedback the same day and I heard nothing for a week. I chased them up myself and they then invited me back to meet the director who asked me the same questions about my recent job changes. I was promised to get feedback the following week and heard nothing for nearly 3 weeks and it actually ended up being myself who had to chase them up again for an answer. In the end it was a no (by email) as they thought that the salary wouldn't be enough for me and I would quit. Absolutely disgusting!! I was even asked how much money I would be happy earning when I was in the interview and I said 30k (the advertisement said £35k OTE btw). If that money isn't achievable then don't advertise it and lie to candidates. Seems to me that a lot of people quit which is why they feel I might be a flight risk. Perhaps they need to look at themselves if people quit all the time? The feedback also said that if a more senior position becomes available they would be happy to interview me again. There is clearly no communication between them and HR as I applied for a more senior position in the first place and it was a no. Perhaps HR should have run my CV past them before making me waste a month of my life hoping I'd get the job. If they had of read my cv first then it could have been a straight no. Simple! STAY WELL CLEAR FOLKS!
