I had a job interview at a small company. The director said he was going to lunch and asked me to go with him. He bought me a coffee, we talked calmly and then he said I got the job and could start on Monday. I still don’t understand what the catch is. Or did I really just get lucky and find a job that easily?

    Congratulations. I have a feeling that the director had been impressed by your resume and the interview was a mere formality. Enjoy your good luck and... as somebody said "I would rather be lucky than smart".
    It is not uncommon to find the employer being favorably disposed towards you. When I was interviewing somebody and I needed to fill the position quickly, I asked the candidate to bring a set of clothes in case he decided to stay.
    Now get down to work and prove his instincts right. Good luck.

  • Bruh just play along...embrace it.....you'll ask him after 1 year why he chose you

  • While there is nothing inherently wrong with this approach, it is nonetheless unconventional. That said, though, it might be worth asking the question... for purposes of context and clarity. Knowing what went right in an interview is as important as knowing what went wrong. Typically, and I'll say this again, interviews are generally used to determine culture fit and are used less to determine expertise. Expertise is usually determined by the CV, so when a candidate gets to the interview stage, the company already knows they have the knowledge and skills to do the job. The interview decides whether you will fit in. So if you really want to know, book a meeting with him and ask. more

  • I would love a job interview like that! The best are when you are hired on the spot when you just walk in with your Rez.

  • congratulations! lucky you

  • Congratulations. The director needed to have a one on one with you and check your lineability with your CV. Prepare and start immediately.

  • Congratulations. 🥂🎊🥳.
    You obviously have something that other applicant did not have. You did not just got lucky. The director obviously needed to... know you beyond your impresive Cv and outside work environment.
    Often, hiring managers look out for simple things such as our interactions and manerism outside work environments.
    Well done ..

  • Sometimes it happens like that. Best wishes. Go buy a lottery ticket

  • Congratulations! Just accept it for what it was, someone who saw something positive in you and felt you would bring something good to their company... and team. more

  • Feel grateful but hold off as much as you can to see what the job will really be like once you start

  • Do you feel you had the opportunity to negotiate your remuneration and contract terms?

    You clearly showed your competence and only you know if it’s... the job you need for career progression (or what your career ambitions are).

    Use Monday to review the terms he’s engaging you on, and enjoy the weekend planning your new working arrangements.
