I had a brief telephone interview, after which I was invited for an interview in the their office. My interview was at 10am. I arrived at 9.45 and left the office at 10.05. I was seen straight away by the recruiter I had talked to over the phone, but was asked the exact same questions from the telephone interview. I was then passed onto an unsuspecting, uninterested and random colleague, who hadn't even read my CV and wasn't even listening to my answers. But who can blame him though? We were interviewing in the noisy office bar, where people were making deals over the phone as I was trying to interview. Who could focus like that. It was an utter waste of time. If you are going to spend only 10 minutes asking questions, a Skype interview would have been more appropriate.
