Has anyone been to a job interview that was freakishly short? I drove an hour for one that was less than 10 minutes. The hiring manager was 30 minutes late, and she only asked me three questions: “Tell me about yourself,” “What shift do you prefer?” and “What are your salary requirements?” I’m not mad, but it was so weird. After driving so far, I felt like the position was already filled and I was just going through the motions. Am I crazy for thinking that?

I had the same thing happen and it left me feeling like they were only interviewing me out of obligation. It’s not you, it’s their process. A real interview should feel like a conversation, not a checklist.

Just wondering if any Junior designers feel the same but I work as the only graphic designer in a small digital marketing agency and lately there isn't any new projects and work coming in at least in my "department". No one is really touching base on anything but I'm still getting paid a salary ($42k/y). I worry that they may just cut me off any time soon since I feel I haven't been contributing as much as I want despite reaching out for any new requests. Thought?
