I found this article about "Worst Interview Experience" by this guy quite interesting and would like to share it with you, our readers. Do you have your own "Worst Interview Experience"? Would you like to share with us?
"too qualified...
1. A while back, I applied for a role as CIO of a large $500M/yr turnover company. The response from the recruiter interview... "The client is looking for someone to "develop into the role". Which was a less than polite way of saying. "Over qualified".
2. I interviewed for a senior technical role. as an enterprise architect. Big govt project, lots of inter agency stuff. I asked the incumbent what "architectural methodology" used. Blank Stares. I then asked if they were aligning with a similar effort within a major US Federal Government Agency - they weren't aware of it...(If you "googled" the name of their project, you would actually get it, not their project...)
A month or two later, they were advertising again. This time, they were asking for people with skills in the architectural methodology that I had recommended.
I now have a consulting firm, that is looking to place me, in there... They will charge 3 times, what the client would have paid for me, and I will get more, but such is life........."
