to think I didn't get the job

[hopefloats]

Was shortlisted for a job. There are 18 vacancies and there were 31 of us at the interview day today. I was the 28th to be interviewed by a panel of just two professionals. The first question was 'tell us about yourself'. Fair enough. I said what I though was relevant and (hopefully) interesting. The next six questions related to the role. I asked two questions at the end. At no time during the interview did either interviewer make any notes. Not a scribble. The interview was not being taped, filmed or otherwise recorded. AIBU to assume that the 18 vacancies had been filled before I walked into the room and they were just going through the motions?

Yes! Don't panic. I regularly interview with people who take no notes at all. There is probably a feedback form they fill in afterwards before the next interview! I take a lot of notes, but I rarely have to refer back to them when I'm filling in the forms afterwards. If you don't get it, make sure you ask for the feedback. Good luck!!

Wow thanks Carolra. I will ask for feedback it if is bad news.

Update - I got the job! Obviously very professional interviewers.

congrats!

I got a job too this week so let's share the wine

Congrats :)

I've never been filmed or taped at an interview, I've had notes taken but they were I response to technical questions.

Well done!

Congratulations! It's so easy to over analyse when you've been in an interview.

I thought I'd fucked up my interview recently but I got through and had a final interview today but the ceo is travelling next week so won't meet with the director till later in the week so won't know till next friday - I am going over it in my head again and again. I've even worried that I felt I did ok this time so maybe that as last time I felt dreadful it means I have failed this time . I'm going to be doing my nut in for a week now!

Well done again - fab news :)
