I was contacted by LinkedIn to interview for Jet.com for their Fashion Category Specialist position. I was skeptical about interviewing because of the reviews but took a chance anyway, big mistake. For starters the recruiter called late but whatever. I was told my background matched more of a Category Assistant position rather than a specialist position. I was told my gap between graduating from college and landing a corporate job was “interesting” (after this was said I was no longer interested and was honest because I didn’t care) and perhaps if I went on site to interview that I shouldn’t say I worked as a dog walker everyday for eight hours to pay the bills and scheduled interviews around that. I understand that jet wants to hire from Ivy League schools so those candidates may not have a gap on their resume between graduation and landing a job but someone who went to a small state school might. I was also told that I would be working for Jet.com but really would be working on Walmart’s Ecommerce site so I shouldn’t say Jet at all at the onsite. The recruiter was late calling, called a very difficult gap between graduating and landing a job (because not everyone hires as often as jet does) “hmm interesting” and overall made me disinterested in this role.
