What are the most common types of interviews you have been in?

In my field of work, motivational interviewing seems to be what everyone uses. Is that the same for most fields of work or are there other styles that are common? What’s the worst interview you ever were apart of?

Interviews and hearing back

I seem to only be getting through the first round of interviews while also having to do tons of sample work. After that places seem to ghost me and I have to follow up with them to hear I didn’t get the position. Does anyone else have this problem.

I cant believe I'm sitting outside writing this. I don't actually feel like this is reality at all. Walmart can fire you for any reason by law so I guess this is on me. I had a miscarriage at work. I started hemorrhaging to the point where HR had to get me a change of clothes and called emergency for me. I ended upnfinding out at the ER I miscarried. I bring my medical records to work, and tell my supervisor why I have taken days off and she said ok. never even informed Me of sedgwick the online system where you have to call out and reuqest sick time. A week later my supervisor tells me I'm fired and that it's from my missing days. I tell her why, she says to take it up with the store manager. I have a meeting with him and he brings in…
