I guess I must be decent because I haven't been to an interview yet where I haven't been made an offer! 
It's definitely a good ego boost.

That's funny, this was a topic at lunch!

Hopefully great! I had a great interview yesterday and I have a different one tomorrow. I should hear back from the first one by Friday. I feel really good about it!
-
Every interview I've had for a job I've gotten too. I kind of like interviewing!
-
@looch: hahah and what was the consensus?
@Boopers: sending you some good vibes!
@matador84: hahah now, don't get carried away.

I love interviews! I'm pretty good at talking though so I'm a natural! I have gotten every job except one, which I didn't really want (I was desperate for work, though). The interviewer asked me straight out if I really wanted the job or it was just a stop gap; t was a call centre manager, being paid less than half the amount I was paid at my previous job - what did he think?! I told him I wanted to move in a different direction etc etc but I don't think he believed me!

I'm a nervous wreck!! I'm not really the social type so that plus nerves makes me less quick on my feet to respond to stuff. Ugh
My friend went to an interview recently and they asked her all sorts of weird questions like what role would best describe you in a circus? And some others where even after a few minutes of pondering, I sat there looking at my friend completely dumbfounded. No bueno!!

@locavore_mama: the consensus was I haven't had a formal "out of the company" interview since I began working here almost 17 years ago, so I feel like I kind of would be terrible, lol.
-
I generally enjoy interviewing and think I'm pretty good at it. I've been told I give a good interview. I try to remember that it's a conversation and that I'm interviewing them as much as they're interviewing me.
Having said that, I had a great interview for a great job two weeks ago and haven't heard back yet (they told me it would be 2-3 weeks before they finished interviewing all the candidates), and while I've heard through the grapevine that I made a great impression, I'm starting to convince myself that I didn't get the job
Time will tell.
-
I've had 3 go incredibly well and one got horribly wrong. I feel like I have a slight advantage though since I'm a recruiter and do interviews daily, so I know what they're often looking for.
-
I also have been offered a job at every interview except one, and that was agreed upon in the meeting that I wasn't a right fit for the job (they needed accounting background and I didn't have any.)
-
Terrible, apparently. I've had at least 1-3 interviews a month for the past year and not had a single offer
They are always "very impressed" and say I was the "second choice" but it always goes to someone else. I have another interview next week and I'm sure I'll somehow fuck that one up, too. I never had low self esteem before, but after a year of interviews and rejection I sure do now!

@MediaNaranja: sigh, job searching is so soul crushing. I'm so sorry. I totally know how you feel... Nothing like gettin rejected to make you feel like crap. Don't let it make you feel bad, and I don't think it means you are a bad interviewee! I went through a one year long unemployment stint back in 2008 and it was prob one of the lowest points of my life.
-
I think I'm a decent interviewee. I def get nervous but I enjoy talking so I think I do alright. I haven't gotten every single job I've interviewed for, though
-
I think I do alright. I get nervous, which means I talk with my hands A LOT. But I had an interview on Friday and just received a phone call that I'm one of the top candidates.
-
I think I'm decent but I haven't had to interview THAT much!
-
I've never had an interview that I haven't been offered a job for. I can't only remember ever interviewing maybe 6x. I turned down 2 of those.
I remember one going so bad that we just kinda left it halfway through and unfinished and she said goodbye to me. She called the next day and was like, "maybe we didn't click, or maybe you were nervous, but credentially- you are exactly what we're looking for." Haha. Anyway- I never saw her at work and it was my favorite job ever:)
