Is this normal for an interviewer to do this?
so today I went in for an interview and I was
going in for the 2nd interview by the head chief executive
. now this is where
it got weird, so she asked me about my previous jobs and said how much she
liked that product over that product. then she started talking about her
daughter? an her divorce ...then how she didn't finish college because she was
making more money doing what she did for this company ... then she talked about
how her teenage daughter is a handful... I just played it cool thinking she was
using some sort of psychology thing to trick me into saying something stupid.
the interview ended and she seemed happy an I was escorted to the door... now
I'm freaking confused? is this normal behavior for an executive? like it felt
like she was going to burst into tears at one point and tell me her life
problems... is this normal? was she trying to see how I react or something?

It could be that she was trying to see how you
would handle her outbursts. So many times while working you will have customers
who will tell you way too much info! But you have to be nice, and listen to
them, for they are the customers. She may have been testing to see whether you
would remain silent or not.
While it is definitely not normal for an
interviewer to share such personal facts about herself I would think that she
was having a very hard time in her life at the time of the interview. For some
odd reason she felt that YOU would be open to just sitting and listening
without trying to give HER advice.
Maybe she was seeing if you could take control
of a conversation or maybe push it in the right direction....Good Luck!
Many employers are over worked and over their
stress limit with no one to vent with regarding life in and out of their
everyday circumstances. True, many interviewers today may be attempting to gain
some perspective on how a potential employee may handle stressful situations
and how their own personal baggage brought.
I think it is very abnormal and she should take
a vacation or see a counselor. That is very unprofessional behavior. I would be
afraid to work for her. You don't want to be her emotional sounding board.
Had an interview kind of like this once. Not
much related to the job as I think I had that wrapped up already after interviewing
with HR and with my immediate superior. Those went well because I tested well
and because my boss obviously liked me and was selling me on the job basically.
The entire discussion during an interview or
during business hours is totally unprofessional. Keep applying for other jobs,
not that you'll be rejected from this opportunity, mostly likely you'll get the
job because you're a good listener. However, do you really want to be your
boss' counselor?
I think that it is important to understand that
the prospective employer is not only "sizing you up"and evaluating
you but a job interview is an opportunity for you to "size up "and
evaluate a prospective employer.
People, calm down. I know I'm late, but just had
to revisit this. Nothing is wrong with the interviewer. Every manager has their
own interviewing style. I have been interviewed where we hardly talked about
the job and did now talk of my skills that much. Managers do know how to read.
If your resume has enough.
This person know anything about job interview.
The botton line it was not a job interview. The equal employment opportunity
law can help you for future, go to EEO page, and get informed!!!!!!!!!!!
Because people are not trained to be
professional communicators and professional interviewers, they resort to bazaar
methods to check out candidates. It resounds with illiteracy and lack of
ability to "check out" a candidate without resorting to poor strategies.
There are more professional ways to "test" a candidate.
Maybe she was just trying to test you once
again, But... what about your CV and Cover letter? Where they convincing
enough?
