Interviewing dilema
Interviewing dilema
(OP)
I currently interviewed for a new job. I was unfortunately not offered the job.
Do you think that being to happy in an interview is bad?
Also I work for a small consulting firm and tried to go to a large industrial which I have experience in industrial settings. However the person interviewing me was my bosses brother? Do you think this is why I was not offered the job? Many people say it is because I was qualified but I just do not think this would happen he is a professional so should this play a role? I think it is a cope out what do you think

RE: Interviewing dilema
Many people told me that I did not get the job because my bosses brother interviewed me and he would not hire anyone that would take an employee away from his brothers consulting firm.
I just do not believe this but so many people keep saying this.
RE: Interviewing dilema
If the reason is because of what you say, I think it is against the law (not 100% sure), and I would move on somewhere else to not be between the potential political mess of the brothers.

I know I was qualified for the job but someone else may have been just as qualified or more.

Apparently, you knew the situation ahead of time as well. You were bound to run the risk of incurring some repercussions from this action.

Remember that interview is a formal meeting.
RE: Interviewing dilema
I've even been offered a job that I was initially not offered for taking the time to ask why I was not selected.
RE: Interviewing dilema
You should consider every interview as a learning experience. What did YOU learn from the interview? How are YOU a better person/engineer for having taken the interview?
While there will always be times we feel "the situation" was not fair, if you dwell on this for any length of time, you are hurting yourself, and you are proving the interviewer made the right decision.
