Confused Regarding Rejection

Are you kidding me? Did you fall out of the negativity tree and hit every branch on the way down?
From the OP's account it sounds like the interview went brilliantly - the questions were only skipped because she's already covered the answers.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it went well or not, complete contrast from Monday.

Interviewer skipping questions, awful sign. Another rejection I'm afraid.

I do a lot of interviewing, the only time I'd skip questions is with a good candidate who has given enough evidence in previous questions to cover the ones I was intending to answer. If a candidate is poor then I still ask all the questions to give them a chance to improve.

Even if the OP doesn't get the job it doesn't mean she gave a bad interview. It could be that someone else was slightly better on the day or had more relevant experience.

Alarm bells would be ringing for me if the interviewer skipped questions.

Do you actually have an ounce of positivity in your head or do you have some inside knowledge ?

Hopefully the OP has seen sense and blocked your inane comments

Ok, do you think either interview sounds positive?? Come on out with it!!

Nobody other than the interviewers know - we have limited info and yet rather than say this you're insistent that things are negative

I'd rather watch with interest and hope than set any expectations

I'm hopeful too but it doesn't seem great, the two examples had too many negatives to be anything else.

Cotta is completely trolling this thread.

I have interviewed tens of people in my career. Interviews with good candidates last longer than the alloted time because the candidates are interesting, relevant and I want to talk to them!
I will skip over a question if it has already been covered as a result of a previous question. It's usually a bad sign if I have to ask every question verbatim.
If a candidate does not have knowledge of a particular business area but I think they could easily pick it up and they tick all the other boxes then that sounds good to me! I don't want to employ someone who won't develop and grow and gain new skills. Otherwise they'll be bored and disappear when a better opportunity comes up

Thanks, so I shouldn't be too concerned that they openly stated they were skipping a question?
