"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"

"Drowning in stress ball foam apparently."

Great, now you can sprinkle all that material on a sandwich and eat it as if feta cheese. Also I hope you get the job 🙏

How do you think you did in your interview?

[–] alyth@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago (2 children)

To be honest, I'm not sure how I would judge that right now. But I don't mind reporting the facts. It was a pre screening by HR. There was a part where the recruiter would turn off her camera and leave me to speak for 2-3 minutes independently to talk about myself and my application. She told me afterwards she was impressed how well I did, that she'll forward the recording to the line manager today and that she doesn't see any reason why they wouldn't invite me for the 2nd out of 3 total interviews. The rest of the chat with the recruiter was very friendly with lots of smiling and understanding from both sides. If I get a job offer/rejection, I'll come back to tell the whole story.

That's weird... I've done interviews from both sides, and that's just weird. Glad you got through to 2nd round, though!

[–] alyth@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Thanks for the feedback and congratz! I should add she announced that part in the invitation, so it wasn't a surprise.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've never heard of this turning the camera off.

I would find that extra hard - just like presenting to a black mirror lol. It's so hard to tell if you're on the right track without checking the audience's expression!

But it sounds like a positive outcome. Hope they call you back and the rest of the interview process goes smoothly!

[–] alyth@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

You're right, it did feel like talking into a mirror ^^ Thank you so much! I hope so too!

Hope you get the job (so you can afford a new anti-stress ball)

[–] alyth@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Thank you, I appreciate it!

I hope the interview was for stress ball tester, you’re a natural
