I had a very weird interview today...They asked me only 3 simple questions:
1.How did you find out about us?
2What is your salary expectation range?
3.How did you deal with some upset customers at your previous job?

After that, the interviewer asked me if i had any questions for her? I was stunned thinking..."That's it?Only 3 questions?" I was even more stunned after i asked her about what was the position i was applying for,because i got this interview by doing a cold call...well,a cold email to be exact. lol Anyways,after i asked her about the position,she answered that she DIDN'T KNOW and that she has just returned from vacation and that she didnt know what was going on, and that she had to talk to the department first. I was shocked! It's like i came all prepared and they were like...TOTALLY NOT!lol

After that, i asked her some more questions,which she answered in details,nicely. I felt like i was the interviewer. It was something i never experienced before. Then,they gave me some computerized problem-solving/logical thinking skills test. I had to answer 50 q.in 12 min.I did 40.

Anyways,what do you think...will i be called for a second interview or they just had no interest in me afterall? Then why call for the interview if they dont even know for what position they need a person???? It felt like a joke. :cool:

I think interviewers need to learn how to interview.
I have had bad interviewers.
There are all kinds of seminars for the unemployed person to learn how to answer questions and be a good interviewee, but none for human resource people to interview.
Remember: Those who can't do anythingm become human resouce jokes.

I agree that some interviewers need to learn how to interview. Once I had an interviewer who slouched way down in her chair and kept looking all around the room and rarely at me. She looked like she was going to fall asleep at one point. I felt that she didn't hear about 75% of what I said. It really threw me off. Needless to say I didn't get the job, and I didn't really want it either.

You should be able to make every possible effort to prove yourself worthiest for the job. Your every effort should have a positive approach and you should be able to throw light on your positives, your talents and your work experiences. Spaced out from this, you should be able to drive the attention of the interviewer from your negatives such as time-lag in your academics and career, or long-drawn-out hunt to obtain a job could have a negative effect on the job interview. Prepare yourself best for the job interview and get your desired job.

You must effectively communicate your skills and qualifications to the interviewer, and you can only do so if you are totally familiar with your resume and skills. For example, if they ask you what you learned from your last job, you should have a few answers to choose from. And every answer you give should be supported by concrete examples.

Most of the time the interviewer will ask you about your skills or how can you help or what can be your contributions to the company when you get hired
