How long does an interview take?

Question

I have an interview next week. I would like to know how long will it take.

Answer 1

That's a question you should have asked to the potential employer. There is no time frame....I once interviewed for a job and it took 4 hours, and I also interviewed for a job in 10 minutes, both of which I received.

A lot is going to depend on your answers, your presentation, their interest in you, if you have to take tests or provide a writing sample.

Answer 2

It should be around 15 minutes or so. Too short will mean your not the right person for the job and they're just trying to get you out of there office as soon as they can. Too long is a good sign but it will do you in if your not careful.

Remember, first impression means a lot so if you're able to give a good impression, leave as soon as you can. Don't f*uck it up by opening your mouth. It's better to keep quite and let them think that you're quite because you are contemplating on a complex math problem or trying to analyze the argument of Game Theory rather then having them find out that you just lost your keys and thinking of a way to catch the bus.

In short. Keep the small talk to yourself and don't share unnecessary info, it can change their perspective on you dramatically.

Answer 3

That depends on the type of job. Can be half an hour, can be all day. The long ones are usually for high paying jobs, and in those cases there are usually several interviews.

Answer 4

Depends on the position... I've had some that was done in 8 hours but in a group setting and others in a 15 min time frame...

Good Luck

Answer 5

could be 20 minutes or an hour plus. depends on if they like you
or if they get off track and BS about something else.
