post-interview reaction
it was short...could be a good thing, could be a bad thing.
they knew that i was on my lunch break so maybe they were keeping it short out of consideration - or - they also know that i'm crazy qualified, so maybe they just wanted to meet me to verify that i wasn't a total schlub.
i felt slightly intimidated by their aloofness. i was trying to be completely professional yet pleasant and energetic (because that's what the staffing lady told me they were looking for) and the president of the company was in shorts, leaning back in his chair. he looked like mr.clean with facial hair. the manager that was there seemed a little hyped up on coffee - fine during the work day, but unnerving during an interview.
the manager said that she would be contacting my references so i guess that's a good thing. i don't really feel like it was a long enough interview for me to get out all of the great comments and personal achievements that i had spent so much time preparing. they didn't really have any questions for me other than what do i do all day and what have i done elsewhere. literally, the interview didn't take more than 20 minutes.
the length of the interview is totally taking me off my game...i don't feel confident in it, however, they did tell the staffing lady that it would definitely be under an hour, so i suppose i knew it was going to be short from the get go...i don't know. ugh.
just gimme the damn job.
Comments
My job interview for where I am now was short. I don't think short is necessarily a bad indicator.
thats good to know - at least it's not necessarily a death sentence. thanks for your comment!
thanks! i know the need to fill the position immediately, so i can't imagine that they'd wait too long to let me know.
thanks for sharing your husband's story - that made me feel much better!
i'll let you know what happens!
