I interviewed 6 candidates for 1 spot last year for a field position. Also via Zoom
2 were over qualified
1 No relevant internships or experience spent most of the interview telling me about how she had planned to take a year off but Covid messed it up
1 No relevant internship, waited tables through college
1 also in a t-shirt and a poorly lit room. It was the afternoon so I’ll give him benefit of the doubt that he didn’t just wake up
1 former army infantry, wearing a suit jacket and a tie, had put himself through school on GI bill supplemented with working as a residential carpenter.
Guess which one we hired?
