Don't you hate the feeling that you just completely boned a job interview?
Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 07:04 PM by LostInAnomie
I went in to a recruiting meeting today for Norfolk Southern. It pretty much consisted of an aptitude test, a personality test, and an interview. I made it through the tests and was selected to interview along with 7 other people. When they brought me in they almost immediately started hinting that I was over-educated. Then they told me that they think I would be more interested in a management position, and asked me if I would be interested (Oh, and by the way, I'd have to relocate but they couldn't tell me where). Not knowing anything about the management position, I hesitated and couldn't give a clear answer. I said I would be interested, but I would want to know more about it and I would still want to be considered for the position I applied for. They didn't seem to like that answer.

The whole rest of the interview was me stammering, and feeling like I could only half answer their questions. They said they would let me know within three to five days. I don't have high hopes though.
