Automated phone interviews?
    #18987289 - 10/16/13 05:40 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I got an e-mail from a potential employer yesterday to complete an online screening process, at the end, it told me to call a number and verify a PIN to continue.  So I did.  Well, on the other end of this process was a fucking automated phone interview where I was expected to answer in depth questions about my previous employment. 

I was not expecting this at all, as I have been drinking a bit since I started the online process. 

I sounded like a fucking idiot :facepalm:.  Lots of pauses, hesitant answers, etc.  I'm hoping this doesn't fuck me over in the process, but I'm assuming it will.

Has anybody else had an automated phone interview, where a computer voice asks you questions and it records your responses to be screened by people later?

I was under the impression that the quote box is hidden from users who have you on ignore.

They are.  You responded to Mushroom and I didn't see his response.

If I had psi on ignore, but someone quoted what psi wrote that I didn't have ignored, I would see the the post from psi...

I don't really see what your guys circle jerk has anything to do about automated interviews.

To op no I didnt know they did that im a people person. I talk my way into jobs I wouldnt even want to work with the company if that's how they screen people.

I had a automatic phone interview once.

I also thought I sounded like an idiot. It really is weird. No time to think at all.

I never heard back from them of course

A lot of these newfangled job recruitment methods seem like they probably favor terrible candidates.

Real basic questions that you would find in any standard interview.

Name a time that you went beyond your job description...
Explain why you think you would be a benefit to this company...
And then a couple technical questions about the position I was applying for, "What would you do in a situation like..."

Like I said, I was pretty drunk, so I don't remember exactly what the questions were.
