Some job interviews stick with you forever — not because you performed poorly, but because the person interviewing you was fascinating.
When you interview somewhere, you’re putting yourself in the mindset of an employee there. Do you like how the building looks; is it brightly lit or dim, is it a big maze or an open space? Do the employees look happy at their desks? How was the commute to get there? And, rather importantly, how does the interviewer act when you greet them? If they welcome you warmly, it sets a whole different vibe than if they gruffly bark out your name to call you into the interview room. Not to mention their demeanor during the interview — some hiring managers treat their candidates like suspects and grill them on their credentials, while others actually want to hold a conversation where both parties get to speak. All of these things can give you a hint about what it’d be like to spend 40 hours per week at a company, and you’ve got to decide if that’s how you want to spend your working hours every day.
Check out the wild and fascinating stories these people shared — you just never know what an interviewer might ask!
