lord fifth posted:had a really weird interview experience the other day. the company did their first round technical screens through a third party service so i got to listen to an underpaid overseas worker's baby cry through a terrible internet connection for an hour. is this common now? the entire interview was very uncomfortable Ive never heard of that, but lmao someone is making a fortune selling that experience

That sounds bad. I probably would have just hung up unless I was desperate. If they don't want to respect your time don't give it to them

recruiter just called me to tell me that i did well and the team likes me. they are interviewing someone else before making a decision. then asks what are your salary expectations. i answered the top of the range you gave me in a nice way. obviously they're going with whoever said the lower number lol. so i'm expecting a rejection later this week.

Interviewer just asked me, "If we asked your references at X and Y to rate your performance, what do you think they would rate you from 1-10?" How am I supposed to say anything other than 10? That question confers almost no information. Then they asked if they could get a reference for my performance at my current job. Who is giving a reference for anything other than "Yes they work here" at their current position? Isn't that just loving myself at my current role by letting someone I work with know I'm interviewing?

its just a tactic to see if you'll look shy about references. i always make explicit that I ask they do not contact anyone at my current employer and generally a firm will be professional about it

Shocking news for some people interviewing: In negotiations, people might ask you for things they dont actually expect to get. rotor posted:"10, absolutely." What % of people who threaten the interviewer get hired? What % of people who mention participating in legal action? Its a Rolex posted:Interviewer just asked me, "If we asked your references at X and Y to rate your performance, what do you think they would rate you from 1-10?" How am I supposed to say anything other than 10? That question confers almost no information. You could actually state the ratings you got, if you were rated well. You could ask for more info. You could say a high number (9 or 10) and then say how you being promoted there indicates that. I'd decline giving them a reference for my current job before I had a concrete offer with a start date in hand if you're worried that the contact may lead to adverse employment actions.
