The initial stages of the process started well. The recruiter contacted me and responded to my questions. I was then set up for a technical interview. This interview was pleasant, and I answered all the questions posed. The next anticipated step was an onsite interview.

Two weeks passed before I sent an email to the recruiter seeking feedback. At this point, she was no longer returning my calls, which I found rude but typical. A week later, she finally responded via email, stating that the interview had gone well and that she would be informing me of the next steps. However, the very next day, I received a generated form letter indicating my rejection. Unsurprisingly, the recruiter ignored my subsequent email requesting clarification.

While this type of arrogance is not uncommon, I believe Dell is hardly a major player in professional services, and frankly, their hardware is flimsy. The current buyer's market may permit such unprofessional conduct, but the tide is turning, and the demographics of the American workforce are shifting. Soon, it will be a seller's market again, and I, for one, will not forget how I was treated by potential employers.

None. The questions were straightforward.
