I was contacted by a Hertz recruiter after submitting my resume through my university. I submitted an online application as suggested. In the interim, she had spoken with my roommate who was assisting me. The recruiter, who was quite amicable, conducted a brief phone screen and arranged an interview within one week. During that conversation, she inquired if the person with whom she had spoken was my mother! I re-contacted the recruiter to inform her that I was an adult student seeking a career change, not a 20-30 something age wise as I did not want to waste my time. She said that it was OK. The onsite interview was not pleasant. The interviewer displayed obvious shock as I entered the room. Her interview style was condescending and unprofessional. If you are an experienced candidate age 40 or older, I suggest that you not waste your time with Hertz for management trainee roles. They also did not honor their set timeframe for getting back to me with response.

Arrived at one of the Hertz location and interviewed with the location manager. Very friendly and was asked the basic interview questions. The interview took about 30 minutes after the arrival of the location manager. She was at another location .
