Job seekers and interviewee

Please dont bulls**t your way though interview with printed scripts and researched material. It is very obvious youre reading something and on top of that we know when youre trying to bulls**t yourself through.

I rather you be sincere and tell me you dont know and show enthusiasm and passion of what youre doing instead of showing off your knowledge, your current position, and your current team size.

ESPECIALLY those born of 90s and 00s

Waste everyone time...

this is part of screening process, takes 20~30 interviews and sometimes we still screw up hiring the worst, face to face or in person interview is a must

Alot of interviewers do not know how to conduct interview as well.

Straight up asking textbook question and expecting non-textbook answers?

Like asking shit question like weakness/strength/aspiration/motivation. What motivates you? The answer is always money (most sincere non bullshit answer).

last time i even interviewed a girl who didn't really want to work in the company.

but then why are you here for the interview?

that's trap questions, interviewers just want to see the response.... the answers no important at all....

I ask technical question, he have no technical knowledge. I am looking for a specialist position. He is clearly reading from something coz his specs reflects.

Trying to impress with a bunch of technical jargon but no knowledge on basic term. When ask something he doesn't know, he try to answer something totally irrelevant.

My simple question, what is your approach on solving X. He tell you sun rise on the east and when sunrise I start to brush teeth. The toothbrush I use is of microscopic bristle etc.

Yes I ask general question a lot and I expect in depth answer because is INTERVIEWEE job to impress and to market themselves.

youre absolutely right to a certain point

dawg i have been doing this since every interviews i attended, and look where it got me?

NOTHING!

Look at the brightside, the interviewee is answering the question that you really want to know. The answer all interviewers want to know is whether he is suitable for the position. He is answering it loud and clear.

simple answer, parents don't want them to bum around the house

I've met similar parents being child to interview scenario before

not relating to ts question that he asked the candidate... but i hate when people ask.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK WITH US?

duh, for money, what else? i won't die for your company. also, it's close to my house, and your amount of annual leave is attractive.

imagine answering the interviewer (presuming the company is listed) - I have read the financial report and it's showing steady growth and I would be like to be part of your success story

generally, technical role's interviews are easier to conduct imo, as there are certainty in the answer itself.

But management role, it feels more like moral questions.

Sure get hired right away, bodek done right. companies like people like this.

Why hiring manager, in position of power, would blame job seekers?
Therefore, hiring failures are 90% hiring managers' incompetence.
As Alexei explain, its a hiring process (controlled by employer, not applicant)

+1

I had a candidate like this.
I found out why, then persuaded her to join.
One month into work, she is glad she made the right decision.

Bcos I saw your company photos, lots of hot babes here.

i will still read from scripts...especially for those question such as what's your straight/weakness, how do you see yourself in x years

only thing i dont read script is when answering tech question

Why not share your LindkedIn profile & company name, let us judge your competency as an interviewer (or you are just another nitpicker)

Asking 1-2 of these questions to make the conversation smoother is fine (with a maximum of 3). However, I once attended an interview where the interviewer just asked textbook questions for 35-45 minutes. Then, as time was running out, they suddenly asked if I had any questions. I didn't even get a proper chance to discuss my project scope or achievements. The flow of the interview felt very abrupt. It seemed like the interviewer was just looking for manpower to do their work.

On the other hand, I've attended a few interviews with very good interviewers. These interviewers genuinely wanted to understand my background and projects. They would ask about the challenges I faced only after fully understanding the project scope. In contrast, less experienced interviewers tend to jump straight to asking what the most challenging aspect from a project that i did, which makes it clear they're not really interested in the details of my work.

what company is that?
