Hi Everybody,
I'm currently working as an outsource in Rapid Metro as Technical Assistant/Civil. I earned a Master degree in Water Resource Engineer after B.Tech in Civil Engineering. Due to Covid 19 I took job back in Civil sector even though I have a masters degree in WRE. It's been almost 6 months of constant applying and rejection and still I'm nowhere close to a job in my dream branch which is the Water sector.Im hopeful that through this portal I may find an entry level position in water
JPMorgan Chase recently introduced a policy change to increase the notice period to 60 days. I'm a 602 and resigned recently and yet my LWD is showing up as 30 days from now. Anyone recently resigned can confirm if they are facing the same or new policy is in effect. This is causing confusion with the next companies I'm interviewing with.

What would you do if your senior manager was sleeping with an intern and you knew it was against HR policy? 🤔
Ask if they could make it a threesome
I always like to ask the question 'if you could do anything without the worry of money, what would you do'
As an interviewer of new hires I want to know how self-aware you are, how willing to acknowledge your own strengths and weaknesses, and how quick you are to share your skills and/or leverage your network where you're lacking. I learn these things by you telling me stories based on those behavioral prompts. Sure, about your classes at school and your work experience in related fields. But also about responsibilities at your frat/sorority. About volunteering at your church. About your job as a waiter. Whatever. I don't learn it by asking 'fun' interview questions like how you'd blow your lottery winnings or what you'd do if money were no object. In fact I learn the most about your personal priorities when I flip the script about halfway through the interview and give you the chance to ask me questions.
Your imaginations are getting the best of you. I mean like "tell me a time when something went wrong", "tell me about a time you worked on a team", etc. The questions are just so robotic and I don't want to work for a company that is formal and traditional like that
That is a more interesting one. You learn about a person's personality
Not trying to brag, but I could play the game and get the job. But, I am a "catch" and they need to try to sell themselves, too, in order to leave my job now, which pays me plenty and is otherwise great other than the hours. It is a risk for me to leave this job for something else and I want to get completely positive vibes about the company to go there. The interview process is a turnoff.
Like what?
Oh flip it around. Good one!

That's just how interviews work. As last behavior is the only thing to go with. Just play the game and then it's done.
What PwC 2 said. I tried to use as many words but apparently you need that.
I had a company give me a wonderlic once. They used it to judge decision making abilities. Didn't bother me really, but of course I passed with flying colors.
I think one or two of those sorts of questions is more than enough. @PwC 2-this person appears to be an experienced hire, not that your comments are any less valid as a result
Pwc 2- I completely agree with what you're saying and that in theory you get a good feel of their personality if the interviewee answers honestly, but that just doesn't happen very often! In college it is drilled over and over again how to answer these behavioral types of questions, that they're no longer honest. People don't answer with how they would really act, but instead just provide the interviewer with the answer that's going to get them hired. I too would rather be asked questions that might throw me off guard, instead of the ones that I'm already prepared to answer.
