30 minute interview turned into an hour, good or bad?
I just completed a 30 minute interview and it went on for double the time. It was mostly the HM digging deep into my stories and asking for some clarification. Is this a good or bad thing? TC: 115k
Def good. I’ve conducted many interviews, they all suck but the bad ones are excruciating, feels like your soul is dying. No interviewer would willingly subject themselves to even a minute longer than necessary on a bad candidate.
That's good to hear :,)
Better than 5min
Do interviewers actually end interviews 5 minutes in?
Of course. Interview is extended is a good sign, but don’t treat it as a hint of hiring.
That’s def a good thing. But hiring decision could be affected by so many things, and most likely wont be made by that HM only, especially for big companies
Why would the HM waste 30 additional minutes of his precious time talking to someone he was not planning to hire? It's a good sign.
His next meeting was cancelled and he wanted to look busy
He was wfh and wanted to look busy to his wife.
