I dont do job interviews
If I don't know enough about a company after researching I usually just ask to go in and observe for a couple days. I know about a lot of places though from working with people or from former co workersmojogirl wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 3:22 pm the way i see it, interviews go both ways. they are interviewing me just as much as i am interviewing them. do i want to work with/for these people? what's their culture like? who are the people i'll be working with and will i be able to tolerate them? what's the work ethic like? i guess if you don't care about any of that and will take whoever offers the most money, then cool. you do you.
I am very picky when it comes to jobs
I have never been unemployed once as an adult
I have never been unemployed since leaving college. I have been in the same field for 30 years. I am well paid, and have an excellent professional history. I consider an interview as an opportunity for me to size up the company. I decide if I want to work with/for the company while they interview me. The interview is designed to work both ways.
You do what you feel works for you, but, honestly I consider not interviewing to be a short sighted move.

How are they supposed to know if you a a good fit for the job if they don't interview you.

With age discrimination being so prevalent, I wouldn't take job offers for granted. Soon enough those job offers will dwindle for her and she will have wished to took them seriously.Anonymous 6 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 4:51 pm I have never been unemployed since leaving college.

Because even though they like what they see on paper they probably want to see if you're worth dealing with as a person.Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 2:39 pmWhy exactly? I see no point to waste my time on an interview. If you are contacting me it should be because you want me as an employee not because you want me to interviewDylexsmommy wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 2:37 pmThat's really stupid.Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 2:22 pm I had a company contact me saying they want me to come in and interview for a position there. I turned it down. I dont do job interviews. I have actually never had a real job interview.
I had interviews a few times for university and I went to tons of mock interviews for college fairs.
At this point in my career I am not going to waste my time with an interview. If you are contacting me over a job it should be because you think I am good and want me to work there. I never saw the point of going out of your want to contact someone just to interview them
That is my weird pet peeve

Why on earth would anyone just make you an offer without speaking to you to determine how entitled or unpleasant or unable to get along with others you might be? If you can't get along with people and have a bad attitude, why would they bring you on their team? The only way they know anything about you would be through a conversation. You certainly think very highly of yourself ... They may not share that sentiment.Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 2:29 pmThen say you want to talk about a job offer. There is 0 reason to call it an interview if it isnt oneAnonymous 2 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 2:26 pm Have you considered the possibility that by “interview” they actually mean “face to face conversation so we can hire you”?
