My big one is that they need to stop asking why I applied for their company. The real answer is I want a new job, and I blasted out a hundred applications. I didn’t choose your company specifically.

    Why are people here so negative about interviews? Companies and candidates interview each other. You should have an answer prepared to these standard questions.

    My only gripe about job hunt happens before any interview: Any barriers unrelated to the candidate, intended to reduce the number of candidates. I don’t see it that often, but some positions have way too many candidates and candidates cannot be judged fairly

      Got questioned if we’re ok working overtime without pay. We asked for clarification and they wanted us to work 60h/w and only paid for 35h so they can keep us as a part time. Obviously we laughed in their faces and walked out.
