Basically was interviewed on why I shouldn’t be hired
I knew I was screwed after it was over. Sorry just needed to vent, I’m feeling kinda hurt about this interview I had, but I’m just a sensitive person. I had a very negative interview experience for an internship. The interviewer was asking me very negative questions—nothing about my strengths, skills, work experience, or class experience. I also had to make my own zoom link, never had that happen before but maybe it’s more common than I think idk.
Yeah, she asked the basic things like, “What are your weaknesses or negative traits?” and “What was the last mistake you made?” but also strange questions (in my opinion) like, “Why shouldn’t we hire you?” and “What did your parents say was your bad behavior growing up?” Which caught me a little off guard. I could tell she was just writing in her notes everything that was wrong with me and why I shouldn’t get the job.
Overall, I think I answered the questions well, tried to turn them into something positive, and explained how I’m working on my flaws. Even when she asked me, “Why shouldn’t we hire you?” I wanted to hang up so bad lol.
Edit: She was also asking, if I ever ran into their products and things like that. I think that type of question is very annoying because dude I just want a job. I’m not some consumer, I literally found out about your company when I saw the job posting that you literally reached out for me to apply.
