| Indeed it illustrates how much we don't need human resource workers. I have a reasonable amount of experience with scripted questions for phone calls and face to face conversations. It of course should be "foundation of" not "foundations for" but that aside...("..." for a short breathing break) your first question has a slash in it? The whole point of preparing questions is to not have such things. After a very tiny number of interviews one would chose between the 2. I would smile at the second question and politely explain why I thought the job was interesting in well prepared words, then ask "Why do I want to work here? How long have you worked here? Why do you work here?" I would totally expect an answer (only) to the second question. To which I would respond by asking if they enjoyed it. By that time the vc question will seem alien to the context of the conversation. If you bring it up again I will ask if you ever applied for jobs while working there. Then I will openly mock you by arguing it would be interesting just to see what kind of questions they ask. After "I have other interviews to do today" to crank some urgency into the conversation, I will explain why I thought this job was more interesting than the others (same as before only more contrasting than generic), how it fits with what I know, my expectations for further development of these skills and what interests me about the product. If nothing serious comes out in response I will leave "expecting to hear from you soon". You will be in awe - how fast that went. Then I will set fire to your bikeshed. (haha) |
