said to say u r right...although i made many posting here myself..i have never been to doing jobs that serves customers DIRECT and jobs that require tip top inter-personal relation skills

since the position applied for is PR.....u can giv it an excuse as "a test".

but i believe interviews for different level of HR/PR/sales representatives etc defers....u can use such so-called tactics during interviews with junior staff positions...but with senior staff positions usually the interviewer may post a scenerio with difficult situations to handle and see how u reply. after all they may hav reviewed your CV and look at your photo before anyone from the top called u in for the interview right?

Always remember, while the interviewer is assessing you, you are likewise assessing the interviewer.

That will give you an idea of the office culture and how you will be treated should you be offered a position at that company.

Still, be fully aware that you are sitting on the candidate's side of the table. Continue to smile and present yourself well, even if your ego is at stake. Interviewers in some PR firms enjoy goading candidates just to see if they lose their temper.

Mwahahahha. I believe he made some sense. My interviewer was old, with too much concealer ard her eyes and has age spots all over her face. And look at how arrogant and condescendg she was to me.

So, gals, if your interviewer is female, yeah, wear conservative clothes, minimal makeup. If it's a man, dress up more and smile more. Wink

My interviewer (who is old with age spots all over her face,but anyway) was condescending- period. I told her abt my course in NUS and she was doubtg whatever info I told her. Like,hello? I'm the student, I should know.

She asked me, 'So, what can you contribute to our company?' And I said, I can help the PR ppl with their work and lighten their workload throughout the internship.

She replied in that b*tchy,know-it-all voice, 'No! The answer I'm lookg for is that you are a fast learner, have attention to detail and can follow instructions well.'

I was,like, whateverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

She was questiong ALOT of things and was very,very condescendg & disbelieving. Never met interviewers who are so condescendg before, she's like a shock.

You should've shock her back by doing a Sharon Stone on her...but if she likes what she sees, then run like hell.

The interviewer belong to typical leader style. They want to employ kar kia to follow instructions faithfully and not questioning. They want YOU to be their hands to do the dirty work while she use her mouth to tink of new ideas and leave the implementation details to you. And guess wat? She gets higher pay than you. So as you can see, use mouth earn more money than use hands Mr. Green
