HR People Please Hellp Me
I went to an interview today and I was in the interview with 3 people asking me questions etc, I answered I felt like things were going well, UNTIL we got about 1/2 way through the questions ( I could see the list they had in front of them) and they stopped askign questions and said we have no more questions, we will make a decision by the end of the week. Is this good? Is this bad? Can I read anythign into it?
Thanks
Re: HR People Please Hellp Me
It could go either way.
Did you get a chance to ask any questions? This is your interview; you grab the mike and you take the floor.
Don't get me started on these interviews where it is necessary to talk to 2 or mor people. Unless you are interviewing for a middle manager job or higher, there is no need to speak to more than one person.
It used to be that you spoke to the hiring manager and you casually met other employees and supervisors that were in that department. That's all that was needed to hire somebody. they should have left well enough alone.
I cannot see how it is that one person will be able to please 3 people, to the point where it's facilitated to make a hiring decision. Suppose 2 people don't like the interviewee and the other one of the 3 does? how do they jointly decide who is hired?
You can't tell anymore --- it used to be that once you were in the mix at the interview, you knew by the content of the questions if you were seriously in consideration for the job.
And if they really liked you, they took you on the spot, or at the latest, 2 or 3 days later.
If I'm the hiring manager, I'm going to go with somebody I really like, at the interview, if I feel that strongly about them. I had a boss who hired his assistant in 5 minutes. He knew that she'd be a good pick for the job. He always said it was a gut reaction.
At my company, we are given a standard list of questions to pull from, which takes up a full page. However, that's just possible questions, not required questions. In all the interview panels I have been on, we have never asked all of them of any candidate, because you can usually get a good sense of the person without needing to ask all of them.
Were the questions tailored specifically to you and your resume, or were they generic questions? If generic, I wouldn't worry about it.
