I had an interview and I was told that the interview may last up to 1 hour 30 minutes however I was interviewed only 25 minutes. Is this a bad sign???

An interview lasts until about 15-30 min. If it is shorter then that, that is when it is a bad sign. I had a few like that. My shortest interview was 10 minutes. Good luck.

Most interviews last 20 minutes top unless testing is involved.
The key is what did they say after the interview was completed.

If there was any kind of "technical" testing involved in the interview, they may overestimate on the time because some people are slower on the testing part than others, and they have to make allowances. If there was no testing, 25 minutes sounds appropriate to me.

Nope, its not a bad sign. :)
A lot of times if an interview takes an hour and a half, they must be doing some personal chat in there too. They probably told you that so you wouldn't have anything planned in case it did take that long. Good luck!!

It all depends on what type of job you're interviewing for, some interviews are very short, some even shorter than yours. The best thing to do is wait for results before you start panicking.

Nope, not at all. They probably told you the interview would take that long to cover any delays in the process.

Depends- are you sure they meant that the INTERVIEW would last that long? Or did they mean you should BUDGET for that much time- paperwork, testing, parking, etc.

No, it most certainly isn't !!! This just simply either means that the person who did the interview is either "Quick" about things in her/his life, or they/she/he had many other's to interview other than yourself, so that they could see which one is most qualified for the job, you know.. So, I hope for your sake, you really "Sold Yourself" to them!!! Smile!!!!

No, it depends on the interviewers. They may have overestimated the amount of time they need (?)
