A Tale of Two Interviews

I had a second interview! The interesting thing is that this is the second second interview I've had in the recent past, and they couldn't have been any more different from each other.  My interview today was everything that I believe a second interview should be, and the first one I went on was the opposite. 

Today's interview was great - very little review of what was covered in the first interview, and lots of building specifics pertaining to my skills and abilities. I felt that they were interested in learning what I can bring to the table in order to help the organization grow.  

The first time I had a second interview? Yeah, totally different story.  That interview was basically a recap of the entire first interview, and consisted of me attempting to share the exact same information in a new and interesting way.  The whole time it was happening I was having a hard time not thinking, "Why are you asking this?  A - I already gave you all these answers. B - ALL of this information is on my resume - did you even read my resume?!"

So - thank you to those who interview well.  Thank you to those who take the time to learn about those they are interviewing, and allow us to build more upon what we've discussed with you in the past.  Keep up the good work!
