I'll like to ask something. Let's say you went for an interview with about three other people and each took about 30 minutes. During your turn, the interview went very well, the interviewers were happy and they really enjoyed the conversation but yours lasted only ten minutes instead of thirty; is it a bad sign?

Actually, it can be a bad or a good sign. When interviewers are quick to let you go, then, it might mean they have already selected their candidate or you were not interesting. On the other hand, it can also mean before you were invited in, they have already selected you as their candidate and felt no need to ask much based on your Resume or cover letter. But the earlier most often holds sway.
Okay, thanks a lot for your response.

If life isn't fair does that mean we should make it unfair?

Lol! I think you need to understand that your knowledge and performance in interviews doesn't get you a job anywhere in this world. Body language, a word, your perfume, dressing...and just about anything not relating to how smart you are can make or mar you in an interview. So this has nothing to do with integrity. If I had employed my family member, then your comment might suffice.

Wow!

Anyway, I don't agree with you that most advertisers already have an 'internal candidate' to fill a position. Say a few, but never most.
I'm not surprised you gave the job to the lady though. I guess she was good enough for the job.

Really? lol. It is the truth. Many adverts are done to satisfy donor or funders requirements. The candidate to be taken is already on standby.

In addition, job seekers should endeavor to understand basic laws in their field before going for an interview.

The interviewer may take you unaware with simple questions which can be really embarrassing. You go dey sweat under AC. cheesy

You can imagine being asked to state the 3 laws of motion or Ohms law (because you studied electrical electronics engineering) for the role of quantity surveyor.


Na there you go know sey your village people no sleep the previous night. grin
