I submitted my resume to Fortis, and almost immediately received a phone call from the Regional Director of Admissions, who happened to be visiting the local college. The job posting said "Bachelor degree preferred." I let him know that I did not have a degree, and he let me know that my experience trumped a degree, and scheduled me for a F2F the next morning. I arrived to my appointment five minutes early, but the office I was to go to was locked. After waiting by the door for a few minutes, an instructor showed up and was able to let me in the office. The receptionist finally came out from a back office, and asked me what I was there for. After telling her I was there to interview, the Campus President came out, and again confirmed why I was there, and then disappeared into the back office. Finally, about 10 minutes after my scheduled interview, the CP came back out and told me that the person I was to interview with wouldn't be there that morning, but he would meet with me. He told me, as well, that experience trumped education, however, throughout our conversation, he kept insulting me by mentioning the fact that I was "uneducated." After we spoke for roughly 15 minutes, he ended the interview, and said that he had a meeting to go to, but that the Director of Admissions would be calling me to schedule another appointment. After not hearing from the DOA, I emailed the CP to inquire about the status of my next interview. He replied that the DOA had another "route" in mind, and that I would not be scheduled for another interview. The entire time I was at my original appointment, and after receiving the email from the CP, I feel like they never had any intention of seriously considering me for the position, and that my trip to their location was a complete waste of my time, and gas. The whole thing was handled very unprofessionally.
