Looking back on my first interview for a fast good job, the employer did not ask me any questions because a friend had referred me as he was working there at the time. I believe it was okay to not ask questions because my friend was a valuable peace to the team, and the managers trusted him and his opinion of me. From the lecture notes, I felt that it was an unstructured interview, and the questions she asked me were more personal as opposed to skills I have. There were definitely some questions that lacked usefulness, and it felt the manager had already made up her mind about hiring me. The manager did ask about my past experience in the food industry, which I had none. Some suggestions I would make to the managers about the interviewing process would be to not trust employee referrals as much. For my other interviews for construction companies, I would say that all of them were very in depth. Every employer touched on several aspects from the lecture notes, such as past experiences, personal questions, availability, and some even asked about my future goals in my professional life. I will say some interviews felt a little too serious, while others took a lighter approach, making me feel more comfortable with the interviewers. In fact, my most recent interview with the company I am going on full time had a perfect mix of technical questions, personal questions, and a lot of time for us to just get to know each other. Overall, I feel like there as a big importance in the interview process with making the candidate feel as comfortable as possible.
