About three weeks ago, I had a meeting over the phone with a company and from there, we planned an in-person interview. The interview lasted over an hour and I was not chosen for the job. It was a wreck of an interview, my first interview in a long time, so it was expected. Upon receiving the rejection email, I asked for feedback for future opportunities. Finally got the feedback today. His advice for future interviews was to not ask about compensation, benefits, vacation, etc. and to “present yourself as being the one to fill their need, not as someone who is looking for a job”
I am definitely someone who is looking for a job, and if i'm going to spend over an hour interviewing for it, we have to talk about the job details at some point. He covered so many random topics in that hour, including what three people he would invite to a dinner, dead or alive- Jesus Christ and Donald Trump were his “three”.
I have had some really pleasant interviews since then, but no luck on offers… maybe I do need to take his advice lol
