Hope you ok am an Hr manager and see what you mean but at the end some companies hire people and it doesn't matter how old the girl is remember she... has all questions to ask you and they tell her what to ask according to the job spec. more

I would go in with a positive and respectful attitude. Age is not directly related to judgement. HR is not always competent in every job they handle.... They can do the routine evaluation and pass on acceptable candidates to hiring departments for further evaluation.
If after these considerations, you still do not like the company or its choices, it is time to move on. A positive attitude is important in your job search. Good luck. more

What does wearing glasses have to do with anything?

HR should be abolished and we should have pre-work days to see if the candidates fit the position. 2 weeks should be the standard. Can also be paid 2... weeks just to make it more attractive for the candidates. HR to me was created for Lazy workers to complain to someone.  more

Dealing with the HR person first is a necessary evil. Be helpful to the person interviewing you. Self-righteous and condescending people are a dollar... a dozen.

Hi Mark - the best ways to get through to the hiring manager portion of the interview, if you’re lucky enough to get to the recruiter screening... phase:
1. The hiring manager tells the recruiter what they are looking for as an ideal candidate. The recruiter ensures that you can articulate that you meet out exceed the minimum requirements of the job and outshine other candidates over the phone or video screen.
2. You have been referred by an employee of the company or someone who knows the manager
3. They found you on through their sourcing of candidates and asked if you would be interested in interviewing for the position more

As a former technical recruiter, many corporations have inhouse technical and nontechnical recruiters who understand each specialized postion to... recruit candidates from other companies and are working direcrly with the hiring manager for said position and are able to review and interview candidates to see if they are qualified.
HR has very different responsibilties from recruiters in many corporations. They handle processing paperwork, Osha, EEO, Employee relations, and many other duties. Recruiters are headhunters focused on finding the qualified needle in a haystack candidates to hire for corporations. more
