6,102 content writer interview questions shared by candidates

He asked a lot of questions. I mean, A LOT!!! I never faced that many questions in one sitting, not on any interview or graduation viva voce. He asked many personal questions: how many members in my family, if I'm married, etc. I was feeling like sitting in front of the FBI. It was less of an interview and more of an interrogation. One of the most humiliating questions was, what's my current salary. He also insulted me by saying there is no such thing as the industry standard. People from the USA get highly paid. I mean, what about the skills and experiences someone got under their hood? Don't they add any value? All the time, he was throwing questions after questions without any break. I was shocked when he ended the meeting without allowing me to ask any question about the role or the company. He even didn't explain anything about the position, duties, benefits, etc. It was a freelance job with a full-time opportunity. That what they told on their job description. I was looking for a full-time job, and I'm currently holding one. A few times I mentioned that I have been working as a full-time in-house employer, but he repeatedly asked me about freelancing. It's like he's not listening to me.
