I wouldn't go so far as to say I like them, but they're okay. Fortunately, at this point in my career, they're not really stressful as I have the experience, qualifications and contacts to land just about any job I apply for. A lot of the time, they're just casual chats about mutual acquaintances etc, as it's quite a close knit industry where everybody knows everybody else (even when I'm applying for jobs in different countries).
It was far worse years ago, when I was just starting out, and I'd be travelling half way across the country for these awful full-day group interviews, where you'd have to give presentations and roleplay various scenarios with the other applicants, and stuff like that - and then sometimes you'd get rejected by lunchtime. I think that's a very "corporate" way of doing things, and I learned very quickly that I'm only interested in working for very small, independent companies.
Interviews of any kind suck. Feels like everything I'm saying is being judged. Take a date for instance which is sort of like an interview. Every statement and everything is judged.
My approach to any of it... I don't give a fuck. Set that bar so low that I look fucking amazing when I preform the work. Show up drunk.
No. At the beginning of my career, I was nervous. Trying be there on time, dress for the job and sell myself.
Now, I'm in the "idgaf, you take me or not, mofo" mood. I'll come in my jeans that sag and a comfortable shirt and had a breakfast burrito with jalapenos and onions. Icgaf. I put my time in to this interview and such things happen that could have saved me the trip
-whole hour past the interview and 15 more minutes even though I was first
-dogshit pay
-can't answer my questions
-"we're always hiring" (good, I'll take y'all IF I NEED y'all)
-overhype
And my favorite to gtfo
"We're like a family here! We got each other's back!"
:)... hell no.
Nope, I don't like them... but when I ask what their average turnover rate is, they usually start to frown and lose interest in me.
Seriously, I wanna know that... cause if they are a revolving door then I don't want to work there.
If the average employee has been there for 18 years, then yeah I want to work there... something good about that.

Honestly, it's extremely rare that I get an interview and don't get hired. I'm pretty persuasive and I answer their questions in detail and give the feeling that I'm a super laid back but hard working person that will get what I want regardless. Whether it be their company or another one, long as it benefits me just as much as it does them. So people try to hire me off that alone.
If I am the interviewer, it's fine unless I am busy with my main job.
If I am the interviewee - no but there are times that it is golden for me:
Interviewer: "How do you see yourself 5 years from now"
me: "Depends on how this company will treat me"
The annoyed look on her face is priceless..
No I don't like them especially since it's provided by a person who have no clue how the job is done and what is required to do it. So it's not until like the third interview you can actually get answers on what you will do and even there they are closed liped.
I don't like them that much. The interview itself is okay, but while on my way to it I'll be a bit nervous. Anything on the day of the interview BEFORE the interview I dislike, because you have to wait, you need to go on the set time, but while waiting the interview is all I can think about and that drives me crazy.
They're pretty easy it just depends on the type of job you're going for i did my best on panel interviews when i was applying for law enforcement with like 8 diffrerent agencies in the area, regular job interviews i don't take serious lol cause they will hire anyone if they really need people.
Not in the slightest. They're vipers who give you false promises and set up traps for you at every turn.
I'm awful at interviews. I get so nervous I start to shake because I feel so much pressure to do well. Almost every long term job I've ever had, I've always had to interview a second time to get the job sometimes 6 months to a year apart, never gotten it on the first try. I had the pleasure of being on the other side when I became a manager, and knowing how I feel, I always started my interviews with something silly or a ridiculous question just to shake their nerves off if they had any.
I hate job interviews coz many times the interviewer is patronizing and frankly underestimating my abilities. In fact I was sooo disgusted with this whole corporate persona shit that I started my own consultancy and now am waaay beyond those guys, economically and in experience.
u it's just part of the job... I do the interviewing though
I don't mind job interviews. Interviews are necessary and part of the getting the job part. It's a great opportunity to prove you're the right fit for the job and impress the interviewers with your skills, knowledge and experience.
Yeah. I'm nervous for them usually, but I enjoy them.
It's been a good way for me to learn more about the companies I apply to, the teams I'll be working with, and the sort of feel they have.
No one likes job interviews. But they are necessary
Fuuuuuck no. I do good at them but greatly dislike them.
Hate them. And I'm out of work now so will be going through them soon.
I don't like being on the other end either; I've always managed to weasel out of participating in interviews at the jobs I've had.
Not a chance. Job interviews aren't something to enjoy. When people say "dating and conversations after college feel like job interviews", they mean that dating and conversations after college are boring.
I don't care for them at all, probably one reason I hated dating. For a guy it's like a job interview you pay for.
I hate them. I always get so nervous. but I’ve been hired on the spot during every interview I’ve had so clearly I’m doing something right I guess 😅
No, because I know I am last pick. 1) is black women, 2) is Hispanic women, 3) is white women, 4) then homosexuals , then 5) black men, then 6) Hispanic men. That makes me 7th pick.
i like them if they ask interesting questions, and i always feel good when they are over
They make me nervous cause I wanna do a good job but another necessity
