Several employees call with jobs that I would be a "perfect candidate" for. But I found they usually open with a posting that pays really well then tell me I am unqualified then try to place me with a company that doesn't meet any of the requirements I told them that I would be looking for in an employer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked very broad and general questions such as "tell me about your background". Felt more like they were filling out a form more than trying to get to know me.
Internal screening interview. Introduced position’s details and company benefits. Interviewer asked general behavioral interview question and asked more specific questions about previous experiences. The interview process was about 30 minutes but no follow ups.
We had a few conversation regarding the position it itself and also the benefits. They basically did the interview for working in another company while I would have been their employee not that company's.
