      Communications Assistant Interview

      19 Nov 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Laing O'Rourke in May 2013

      Interview

      Around 3 weeks from the application to a call back. Interview conducted by a newly promoted marketing manager that was either being sly, or genuinely aloof, when he said 'I am not good at interviews so lets just keep this really informal'. The Interviewer did not have much to say when asked about a new candidates potential progression for the company, proclaiming he had just been there at the right place and the right time. I got the impression that they seemed keen on me as a potential shoe-in, as I had had similar experience, but I got a general rejection email a week later. When I asked the interviewer, I was simply told I just 'didn't have the experience' - so why did I get invited to interview?

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      'I don't know what to ask you, so please tell me about yourself' 'Why do you want to work here' 'This is an open plan office with Directors being able to see your every move, how does that make you feel?'
