Message: <blockquote data-quote="bethbristol" data-source="post: 93698" data-attributes="member: 3580">I was doing a case study interview, and the partner was really prodding me for an answer on why a long term contract spanning 20+ years may not be suitable given the fact that the contract was reliant on the current leadership teams expertise. I could not for the life of me work out what he meant until I all of a sudden blurted out 'oh of course they will be dead' to which the partner replied 'a more suitable answer would be that they would be retired'. I could feel myself going super red and thought I had blown the interview until the other interviewing partner changed the scenario and asked me to imagine that the contract had gone 't***s up'. The look of surprise on my face when I heard her swear! I learnt then that most of the interview is just about personality... In another interview the partner was typing on their phone throughout the interview, and actually answered a call when I was giving an answer. This really threw me off and lots of my answers were not properly thought through as I just could not focus at all and felt frustrated with the situation. I couldn't even tell her what an IPO was even though that was my 'specialised topic' at the time! I was unsuccessful in this interview but it definitely taught me that an interview is a two-way process, and I did not want to work for a firm like that!</blockquote>
