Got brought in by a former manager of mine since she saw on LinkedIn that I was looking for a job. Took an interview with team #1 manager, it went well. Got set up for an interview with team #1. The questions from the team were weird, like “why did you choose your college?” I haven’t been in college for 15 years, so that question seems irrelevant. That team did not hire me. Manager sets me up with team #2. I only met with this teams manager but everything aligned. The interview went great. This job hadn’t been posted yet and I was the only applicant. She told me to hold for a couple of weeks due to some time off. I reached back out when I knew they were all back in office (from what she told me) and was told more than 48 hours after I sent that follow up that they’re going in a different direction. Huh??? I dont think this company knows what they’re looking for. I was also told it’s a very “conservative” company. Whatever that means.

Mostly behavioral and fit questions, no trick questions, come across as personable since that is a big part of what the job itself is and it will help you get the job
