Havard Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Are you telling me that you told the "TRUTH" in an interview? H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Can anyone point me in the direction of some good sites to view on interview techinques etc? Had an interview a couple of days ago, but didn't get the postion due to not giving the answers they were looking for i've been unemployed since Christmas and am not even getting interviews! This is because there are apparently other applicants who were better suited to the position....sure. Either way, this would be quite useful for me if i do actually manage to get an interview!

Tom Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Lol it wasnt even that really, some of the questions threw me a little so the answers wern't as good as they could have been, I had about 30 q's and almost all the same type of question, which were like, "describe in the work place where you have had to make a difficult descion, what was it?, how did you overcome it? and what was the end result?" "what does being part of a team mean to you?" gives me something more to prepare for next time I guess. I was there for 3 hours, 40 min interview, then 2 tests, and after that we had this group discussion and then had to do a presentation on this scenario they had given us, quite a lot for 20k I thought, well compared to other jobs I've had for the same money and more.

Supragal Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 oo yes theres a really good one that I've used. The questions have come up loads in interviews and even when they don't the answers they give make you realise what they are after hearing. Theres masses of them but wade through them and it's all good. http://www.alec.co.uk/interview/intq1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Bah! Any interview process that lasts longer than 35 minutes means they aren't looking for you specifically, just someone who ticks the boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Bah! Any interview process that lasts longer than 35 minutes means they aren't looking for you specifically, just someone who ticks the boxes. I don't think so. When we interview the technical part lasts for 3 hours. In 35 minutes, we barely know whether the candidate knows their own name.
