[quote=Anonymous]I was in a fake interview once.  It was scheduled for an hour.  It took me maybe 15 minutes to realize it, mostly because I wanted it to be a real job.  It was really obvious, but it's hard to explain it - just such an obvious and as someone said above robotic.

It was just the way they asked the questions and wrote down my answers - there was something so perfunctory in it.  They were asking the exact same questions, but they didn't respond in a typical way to my  answers.  There was no tell me more about that or anything.  I know they were sticking to a script, but it was more than that.

And, then when i had a chance to ask questions their answers were again just very rote.  There was zero sense they were evaluating me as a member of the team, or for fit.  I asked one or two short, typical questions just to continue to play along and then they wrapped up with just the thanks for coming in line.

It was weird, and I was a little bummed/mad at wasting the time, but about halfway through I just relaxed and decided to just treat it as a good experience for interviewing.  [/quote]
