This was by far the worst interview of my life. I was interviewd by a 3-person panel and one had all of the enthusiasm of a holly bush. He even checked his watch. The questions were all textbook and required an example of each (i.e., tell me about a time when you missed a deadline and what was the outcome of that). They periscope for weaknesses rather than strengths.
Also, I took an editing/writing assessment and instead of not calling me like any normal business would, they had a recruiter call and tell me my assessment was not up to snuff. And you're telling me this why?
Also, this same recruiter called me for another job opportunity two months later and then realized who I was and made an excuse to get off the phone.
LAME!

I found the interview at Children's Healthcare very impersonal. The questions are canned and the interviewers did not once look up from their papers. They took notes while I was talking and did not attempt to get to know me as a candidate. The writing test is at about a 5th grade level yet I was told my results were average. My question to CHOA: if you do not want average answers from your prospective employees, why are you asking average questions? I was somewhat relieved they did not ask me to return for a 2nd interview. I'm not an average writer and I will take my above-average experience and skills elsewhere.
