A regular interview:
“Hi how are you? The role we have on offer is ________. Let me tell you a little about the duties and requirments…”
“ so can you tell me some of your strengths?”
“ how about weaknesses?”
“have you ever had any experience in ________?”
“what do you want to achieve out of this role?”
“what are some of your goals in this particular field?”
“do you have any questions for us?”
you know, the regular shit
The interview I went to the other day:
“hi how are you? The role we have on offer is ________.”
“tell me how you would make a website”
“tell me the procedure of exporting files”
“How would you shoot a particular show?”
and here’s the clincher: “Do you know what FTP stands for?”
of course I got all of these questions wrong but ‘it didn’t matter’ because they could tell me anyway and they assured me that they would teach me their procedure.
Like,
DUH!
I mean I’ve never been examined like this before so it was just a shock, and its my fault for not knowing anything but HOW exactly could I have answered these questions without writing an essay or something? And again, my fault for not preparing for such an interview but they said ‘informal chat’ which I assumed to be about ME! Which I can chat about just fine…
