Career development 9h
I just got back from a job interview and have mixed feelings. They kept trying to confuse me and make me feel bad. At the start, they asked me to tell them about myself. I began talking about my duties at my last job, but they said they didn’t want memorized answers, they wanted real achievements.
Then they asked if I had taken a certain test. I said no (I’d never even heard of it) and they told me that meant I failed it and got the lowest score. At the end the HR person said they had wasted their time talking to me and that their time is valuable.
Is this how interviews are done now to test how well people handle stress?

    Sorry I'm just an old man with old ideas - you went and things did not feel right inside. A++ Not getting employed maybe the best outcome for you... even though you feel bad. Perhaps asking questions is better than answering them. Due some research on the business in general Market and see how your prospective employer operates in that space. When you feel uncomfortable say so - in a softening question - "I don't know why I am feeling that this position is already filled? Wait for an answer.  more
