I was doing a case study, I had 1 hour to prepare, do research, and create a presentation with their data.
I created 5 slides, an excel doc including product break down, cost and etc
I start presenting and i get asked why that font?
Why did you choose that formula? I know that formula and find it the easiest to do, why didn’t you do this? Why did you choose that?
Repeatedly, I start getting flustered and say “ In a client situation they would be confident enough to trust my skills with excel and my thought process”
That wasn’t enough for him so I logged off
And blocked them.
I am interviewing for multiple roles, with the same kind of Interview process and not once have I been asked more then once why. I just interviewed yesterday for a similar role and not once did the interview grill me and make me feel stupid.
