Ahahaha I have seen pork bulgogi and it looks soooo goooood, but this place was mostly vegan/vegetarian (not all, but mostly). No beef, oddly.
It's not technically contract -- it's C2H, which hasn't fallen in popularity at all. The contract is almost always a formality, and just a way to pay the recruiters/headhunters instead of paying a flat finder's fee. Shrug from me, it's all cash in the end.
It took an older (male) friend pointing out the finger-food aspect to make me sensitive to it. But in a business meeting? I still wouldn't eat with my fingers unless I'm really good friends with everyone at the table. Certainly not in interview.
Eh, doesn't matter anyway. I couldn't hear most of what the guy said. Place was so damn loud. No television, but no soft surfaces, so all the noise bounced -- and we ended up with a table of four almost literally in my freaking lap, and boy were they having a lot of fun! Very noisy. I may not have heard a lot of what the interviewer said, btu I can assure you that at least someone had a lot of fun at lunch today. *eyeroll*
Really so very NOT what I'd ever pick for an interview, and I told the recruiter that afterwards, quite bluntly: "I haven't a clue if I even answered the questions he asked, because I could only catch half of what he said, if that much. And for that reason, I haven't a clue whether I want to pursue the position, because I haven't a clue what they do or what they're really looking for."
What I could understand/catch, sounded more like a sales pitch than a job description, and I really hate getting sales pitches. I just plain hate hype, is what it really is, and I hate feeling like someone's trying to snow me. Thing is, he might not have been snowing me in the parts I couldn't hear... so I have no idea.
Regardless, I have interviews tomorrow, elsewhere, and they're higher on my list. Fingers crossed, especially since we're back to sane professional interviews where food is not involved!
