I had a zoom interview today with 2 practice group leaders that was scheduled for an hour. It lasted all of 12 minutes, despite the conversation flowing. The flow was good, and the abrupt stop was just out of no where. Do they hate me, or was this actually a screener call and it was told incorrectly to me? Lol

12 minutes with 2 people? Sounds like they aren’t interested.

I guess we will see. Might be a serious red flag though. I know I interview well, and was well prepared. They did ask for a writing sample, so that was strange too, if they aren't interested. It was just super confusing. Lol.

That is so odd - did they even ask you any questions? Doesn’t sound like it was a screener if it was with 2 practice group leaders, and all the screeners I’ve had have lasted at least 30 minutes.

Yeah, I don't know what to think, other than I did feel like it was rude and a waste of time because I had definitely prepared. I guess we will see what happens, but the red flags may be showing for sure.

That's really odd. Could be a blessing in disguise

This does seem weird. Perhaps they already know they want to hire someone else and this 12-min. interview was just to go through the motions as if they are open to other candidates before they hire the boss’ kid. Based on the information you provided us, it doesn’t seem like you said something in those 12 minutes to disqualify you. So, don’t take it personally they may already know they are hiring someone else.

It’s not you. It’s their shady hiring practices. They might have another candidate top of the list and need to interview x % of people to check the boxes. I really hope that’s not the case Bc if it is, you dodged a bullet.

It was prob a 30 min screener and maybe they double booked and had to end it earlier. Yes it’s kinda rude but I wouldn’t assume it’s a bad sign.

Can you give some more background? Did they give an explanation like something came up or they had a call? Did they give any information on next steps?

They could work together and could've had a call or something come up. However, if it turns out they're just assholes, then take it as a sign that they're probably jerks.

Sorry, no. Was not told next steps. Just asked for a writing sample.

I have been giving interview from last 2 months and yet I haven't got a single offer and people here are getting multiple offers. Even if interview goes nice, I would get rejection mail.

I guess Luck matters a lot even if you perform well. There would be always someone who will do better than you.

I am getting demotivated, but have to continue trying hard.

I really wish luck could be on my side.
