Felt really bummed after an interview with a recruiter
A bit of a rant. I had been invited for an interview by a recruiter when I applied for one of their jobs. I was rejected for that role, but then a week later got invited to create my candidate profile. So I practiced behavioural questions for the interview etc.
Then when it began, they asked if I had been invited to other interviews and job offers. I said yes, a couple of recruiters called me and I actually was offered a role but turned it down because I was keen on the other roles advertised on their website and the offered job didn't align with what I seek in a career. This I understand, they must be trying to gauge how well I am in the job market.
But it came down to the questions mostly about the offered job I had. They were like:
What was the job called and the name of the company?
Who gave you the interview?
What were the interview questions?
Did you meet anyone important in that job?
All this I gave honest answers. I gave the names because I legitimately had a job offer.
And then they asked about how I got the job that I left "how did you get your previous job?" I said a recruiter reached out to me first and gave me a brief interview and then got hired. They asked again "I'm saying, have you actually been in an interview before..?"
Towards the end we summarised what I wanted in the long-term which is data entry focused than customer service.
Did I do such a terrible job during the interview that they're asking me these questions? I know they asked me more but because of how slightly taken aback I was I can't even recall the other questions. There was NO behavioural questions asked.
I know each recruiter has their own way. Maybe it's just me overthinking this (probably is, just wanted to vent). Either way, I never heard from them again.
