Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Interviewer was not really aware of what to do in an interview.

He/She did not know about the job responsibilities well when asked regards the role in depth.

Everything was asked generally picking up from resume and nothing great from a technical standpoint.

Not really sure of why the company was hiring when the interviewer had no idea about a lot of things. In terms of the skill set it was more than what was asked for and the interview extended from the given time frame with back to back questions yet ending up in no offer.

Not very clear about what the position is all going to be about.

I think the HR/Hiring Manager needs to be well aware of whom they have to send for the interview.
