30-45 minute phone conversation with the Hiring manager, no specifications.
Action: prepared for a behavioral type interview, including basics, like:
- Tell me about yourself.
- What do you do currently?
- Why are you leaving your current position?
- What specifically about this role interests you?
What actually happened.
Hiring manager asked 2-3 questions.
- Why do you want to leave your current position? (Was really asking if there's a legitimate reason for me choosing to leave, i.e. for opportunties/growth, etc... also is it consistent with what you've told everyone else)
- Noticed that I worked at the company previously, and asked how that segment of business related to other parts of the business)
- Why are you interested in this position? (Do you know what you applied for, and are you genuinely interested, or are you just applying just to apply?)
- Finally, do you have any questions about the position?
Results:
Hiring manager talked the entirety of the conversation, and only asked a few questions. Whenever possible, reiterated interest, seldom as those came. I was told the next steps in the hiring process in detail: who they were looking at, what the time frame was for bringing the candidates in for the in-person interview, and when to expect it to happen.
So far so good. Happy thoughts and prayers until after this week!
