Terrible interview with DAA

Right; I've just had the pleasure to clean up this thread on a Sunday evening because some of you simply can't stop making things personal or drag things off topic. Since several of you appear to be unaware of how boards works let me give you a crash course in do's and don'ts.

• Do report a post you think is over the line/trolling; do not post about reporting the post
• Do challenge someone's opinion; don't make it personal about the poster of said opinion
• Do not under any circumstances try to reply in kind to what you consider a troll post
• Do not try to correlate someone's posts with their status in another forum

Now I'm unlocking this thread again but any more breaches will have more severe consequences.

Hi all, I am posting this to inform people of an interview I had this week, and I would love some opinions...

Anyway, I didn't get the job. I recieved an email on Friday morning confirming this. There's also still interviews taking place, so they didn't need to see the others, before dismissing me.

I'm very upset at this, but please don't think I'm only upset because I didn't get a job I desperately wanted, I am very upset about how they behaved in the interview. I felt so low and deflated when I left that building. When they told me the interview was over after 13/14minutes, I was shocked as it was supposed to be 45minutes. I said, "really, I had so much prepared about the role and company" I was again answered with a "sigh" from the lady.

So what would people make of that?

I'm sorry to say this but I'd say that job was long gone before you or any of the others were ever seen. They had someone picked out (Probably internally) but needed to go through the motions for protocol and to give the impression of a fair and balanced employer etc etc blah blah

You see it in the public service jobs, they're advertised because they have to publicly advertise even tho on most occasions they already have a candidate for the job, usually internally but have to go through the motions anyway.

I understand it was horrible to go through but you probably dodged a bullet there, Image dealing with them d***heads on a daily basis? F*** that

Keep the head up,

I went for this one interview in the public sector and passed, joined etc etc and it was from passing that I spoke with another girl who was also successful. She asked me was there the OOOO that was on her interview form on mine also and I said nope. A relative of hers who held a very senior position in same organisation had informed her it was for One Of Our Own!

Now others would've been interviewed also more than well prepared & capable & suitable but unsuccessful because of what happens in interviews similar to this here and limited places available.

Sorry to hear that you were unsuccessful on this occasion, in this interview. Sometimes the interviewee would be the only one in the room to not know the outcome before they even enter. Decisions would be made well before-hand in some instances.

You could ask for your interview notes and see what feedback you're provided with. May find something helpful for your next interview

Keep the head up though,
Try & keep Positive,
