So I was approached by a company. They told me that I have an interesting LinkedIn profile and I should work for them. So I went to the interview or should I say invitation. The interviewer was very nice. I got along with him instantly. What I didn't know and only realized afterwards, for some reason he wanted to know if I am "team player" or not. That was basically what the whole interview was all about. I really didn't realize the magnitude of his questions because they were very subtle and indirect questions like "do you work best if you are alone or if you are with people".
The interviewer or the company must have had some bad experiences. That's probably why they asked these silly questions.
Again, the only problem was that I only realized afterwards, what this was all about. So my answer must have sounded very bad to them. I mean, I have over 10 years of professional experience. Of course, I can work in teams. The better the team, the better the outcome. Usually. It's like asking me if the sky is blue or not. Thinking that this is somehow a trick question, I gave an answer along these lines: "There are situations where you need a team more than in others." It sounded more balanced, since I didn't know what he really wanted to know.
Of course, I didn't land the job. I got the feedback that I didn't sound every "enthusiastic" about working in a team. That was by far the dumbest explanation why someone didn't give me the job. How can you not see what's in my resume and make assumptions based on very idiotic questions?
May that be a lesson to all you guys. Assume the worst, ask for clarification, and don't just give answers based on what you think the interviewer is thinking about. Also: Dear Interviewers, don't ask stupid questions. I don't believe that you will attract good people by doing shit like that.
