What's the longest interview you've ever had?I just spent 4 hours with a company displaying my considerable talents. Or, you know, showing them that I'm quite a good little bookkeeper.
I just got home, made a lovely cup of tea, when I'm called up and offered an interview for Friday. It's to be hoped I land a job soon.

I did 4 1hr interviews back to back for the same job when I applied for this one.I got the job too.
The shortest interview I've been in lasted 15mins. I was the interviewer. The candidate was useless and uncommunicative. He didn't get the job.

To be fair, if you want to do well in an interview, when asked "What has been your greatest professional challenge?"Don't answer "I don't know" and then sit there in silence.
Also, remember to take your Bench Anorak off.

depends how you look at it.Went for a library job once, candidates had to be there from 9am to 4pm, but not all of that time was actively interviewing - the morning session was group activities, that eliminated half of us, and then during the afternoon we were pretty much amusing ourselves while getting pulled one at a time into half-hour individual interviews.

Normally no more than 15 minutes.Undergraduate interview was probably the longest but only because the logistics of opening up, looking at and talking about a portfolio make it longer than normal.

it was at a youth psychiatric center, a doctor escorted me to a large room and locked the doorthen someone seperated my part of the room from the other part with one of those locking curtain things
so I'm sitting there for about 2 hours before someone finally opens the portion I'm in, I scare the hell out of these poor girls, the fucking stupid doctor thought I'd left, I finally get into the interview and don't get the job
