Xcel Energy GIS Technician I interview questions

It was a phone interview, which is fine since I've had a very good phone interview previously. But the human resources staff asking questions was incredibly dull and merely read out three industry-standard, vague questions. Typically, I've had more personable interviews, where the questions pertained (as they should) to my qualifications for the job specifically, and not a dull, vague, and rehearsable prompts. The whole process was pretty irritating and appeared, to me, to be a structurally flawed method of hiring in my field. I've never had an interview that I didn't enjoy and get called back on, until now.
