So, I saw a job posting that I was interested in, I applied. But, I went above and beyond and showed up to introduce myself (also hoping to get interviewed on the spot, last week). I spoke with the Controller for a bit and she invited me to come in today for a formal interview. I went to the interview today, all for her to ask me 2 questions! Two! WHY?
Might as well have asked me that the first time I showed up. Smh. Geez!

Two questions?! That's...not a formal interview. That's hardly even a conversation. Totally bizarre and a waste of your time. Still, good on you for taking the initiative to show up to introduce yourself ahead of time. I've never thought about doing this since it seems so old fashioned, but the fact you got an interview after (albeit a very underwhelming one) makes me think it could have made a difference.

I thought it was so crazy!!!! I'm a bit old school and I like face to face interaction. When I told my friend, he said I got the job because the lady asked when I can start and how much I was looking to get paid...

She should've hired me on the spot because I have another interview now much, much closer to home at a rate I'm willing to work for. Lol WISH ME LUCK!

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number.

Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?
