long story short, in an interview with a unicorn yesterday I was asked how I heard about my previous roles/experience. Why I accepted the position and why I left.. that's it.
I tried to close the interviewer and almost begged for objections as to why I wasn't a fit or gain a "you're not a fit for this role". they replied they had no reservations or questions about my experience. I was also stopped during my explanation of answering their 3 odd questions essentially to wrap it up so I can have the last few minutes to ask them questions.
I don't want to come off as a jerk or overstep. But, by asking these questions and not giving me the time to try to throw in experiences in my past that align with the responbilities for the role I am interviewing for how can I discuss what isn't on my resume or accomplishments? I contacted the recruiter today to ask if we can discuss their interview process as this one was a bit unorthodox. I sort of felt maybe the interviewer was asking me so they can figure out the best way to apply for those roles? I dunno, I'm lost. is this a new tactic I'm unaware of?
