What's wrong with reading pre-prepared questions from a written list? (nothing)
- toadi 7y agoNothing but he followed up by saying he wasn't interested in the answers.
- krageon 7y agoA job interview is a deeply personal process. If you get someone who is disinterested, which you can easily tell if A. They read from a sheet and B. Don't listen when you answer, that says a lot about the company you are interviewing for.
- navigatesol 7y ago>A job interview is a deeply personal process. I think you might put a little too much stock into your work-life if you consider a job interview "deeply personal". You're looking for an employer, not a soulmate (and it's not like Amazon is some unknown quantity).
- krageon 7y agoIt would have been better worded as "fundamentally personal". I didn't mean it in the sense that you will talk about what your most secret desires are, I meant it in the sense that you as a person need to get a feeling for the kind of culture/people that the company you are interviewing at fosters. You can't do that without any form of personal connection, unless of course that's something you enjoy. All the more power to you in that case, but it's not for me and I think also not for most people.
