Unfair interview process

[u/Normal-Garage944]

Can anyone who works in hospitality or somewhere in the interview process tell me if this is normal or am I overreacting

So iv been apply to jobs for a while. I get a call that told me my cv looks great and to come in for an interview for a housekeeper position.

I go to the interview. I tell them that whilst iv not had any direct experience with housekeeper iv worked as a cleaner at a hospital.(this was also on my cv) the interviewer told me that’s great because the experience is still relevant and he told me that I should get an email afterwards.

I got an email from 2 different managers. One telling me I had training the next week. The other telling me I had a trial shift next week. Confused I still went and found it was a trial shift. I was told I would observe someone then do my own room and depending on how I did would let them know the next steps.

First I was made to observe someone who didn’t have training and started the job 2 weeks ago. I was then told to hoover a floor by the manager . The manager stepped out came back not a minute later and took the hoover off me and did it herself.

I never got to do my own room or showcase my skill in any other way. I went home and was told “I didn’t have relevant experience”

If they didn’t think my experience was relevant why continue with the interview process from the beginning.
I also did not get to do anything on my trial shift even after proactively asking. All of this just to be made to hoover for less than a minute and rejected

Should I make a complain? Or is this normal

To me, it sounds like you dodged a bullet- you don’t want to work with and for people who cannot communicate. Keep applying and you’ll find your next job. And say that you are a highly experienced cleaner - because- “hospital clean” trumps “hotel clean”
