I had an interview in the LGA Crown Room in 1999... actually I flew to NY for a few hours and the perspective employer met me at the airport but I asked him into the club since I had a membership with my DL PM at the time. It was a weekday and wasn't crowded back then. :eek:
I got an offer, but didn't take it. I should have!! :o |

I have done 6 phone interviews from a lounge, one last week. We are busy, it is what it is. How is this more personal than over hearing deal points from the jerk off sitting in the middle of the room screaming into his phone. It is by no means ideal, bit I don't see it as that big of a deal.

It was two ladies, one interviewing and one being interviewed. They set up a few seats away from me and went to it. Unlike a lunch interview, this was in a quieter area of the club and there were a number of people around. I could not help but hear it as everyone else was quiet as they were talking like they were at lunch. I actually got up a left as I could not concentrate on my own work at hand. I just do not think it is in good tact to make someone spill their life out like that in that situation....

There actually is something referenced in the Terms & Conditions of a Sky Club membership specifically regarding interviewing in the club... read it a few days ago.
http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_...use-rules.html Good catch, actually against the SC rules. I wonder what would have happened if the OP reported it. |
From the skyclub rules:
"Business meetings and job applicant interviews are not permitted in any Delta Sky Club except in the conference rooms. Use of conference room will be at applicable rates." |

How was the banter? Did the interviewee seem competent?

i find this entire thread and the indignity that some people are expressing somewhat laughable.
Some people have work situations where meeting in an airport over a long layover makes sense. Personally, I would rather be interviewed in an airline lounge than over the phone. I want to look the person I'm interviewing or being interviewed by in the eye. Those of you who think it is unacceptable likely have a calendar that is a bit more accommodating. As for the SC T&Cs, this smells of DL trying to capitalize on a revenue opportunity. Given their unwillingness to enforce the other T&Cs such as appropriate attire, business-like atmosphere, children thinking it's a playground and drunk people slobbering all over the bar, clamping down on this would be ridiculous. I agree with one of the earlier posts...people need to just mind their own business. |
Not as "crappy" as the time I heard a Partner at a Big 4 CPA firm LOUDLY discuss, by name, the individuals he thought should be let go

I am busy too, but one must never put that ahead of respect for the person one is dealing with.... Not saying you do not necessarily, but I feel we all sometimes let technology get in the way of communication...
Excellent points, and something I need to remind myself at times. Thanks Thomas. ^ |
