1hr interview lasting 15mins! Any hope of getting it?

I tick every box on the JD and am overqualified, but realise the job market is different now. Initially told it was a 1hr interview, then the teams invite only showed 45mins. FAR more casual than I expected. No actual competency questions, just a run down of the role, my experience, what I can bring to the role and whether I'd want full or part time.

I realise no one can say either way, but are online interviews usually casual and very quick?

Um, it isn't my opinion MRex.

It was you who said that you gave your dh a job without advertising it, which rather proves my point don't you think?

Quite a few MPs might want to reconsider hiring their spouse to help out with admin duties having failed to advertise the role - maybe they are just clueless too.

No, they're not clueless. The IPSA tried to ban this practice amongst MPs a few years ago, unsuccessfully I believe.

Well, I got the job!!! Apparently I outshone the other candidates!!! Its only a 6mth contract, but potential to extend. Its WFH for a very large company in a middle management role. Wine

Congrats - I hope it works out well for you - almost like the 6 month contract is your job interview.
