There I said it. It sucks.
The start is a joke - cause here's the plan - If you spend too much time on intros, and you wasting the so called "interview" time. And then you think I should save it for later, lets focus on the interview.
so we move to the stinky middle - the interview part - a web of questions with the obvious non relevant ones in there - and for a fact you will still give a green light to folks by a measure of retention of knowledge, not by knowledge application - cause you give hints to solve the problem sparingly. Here's the fact about your measure of potential - Take away Google and ChatGPT from these managers, and more than half your team would crumble. Wouldn't they use it on everyday job? If yes, then why are you depriving them of it in the interview.
You will ego battle them - Not answering most of their questions - cause you are not interviewing - you are an interviewer - and they are the interviewee.. or you will conveniently park the questions for later, until a hiring decision is formally made - so you save your time - I mean cmon! thats your game plan.
And the closing: it’s usually a weak handshake or a sign off and a 'We’ll be in touch' OR 'HR will get back to you'
CLASSIC. And yet.. you expect the job seekers to buy into their 'mission and vision' and become dedicated team member to "your" team.
Seriously?
CONVERSATION has a CON in it and you are doing it.
- you cant hold it, even if your life depended on it.
The only reason the job seeker turned up, and thanked you for your time after the interview - is cause they need a job and were polite. NOTHING ELSE.
In a rare case - you really did a good job, and hence the "thank you"
