Behavioral
It was an in-person interview process based on my previous experience and CV. We talked about the hours I worked and any changes in my position. It was a formal process with lots of questions about the types of work I'm looking for. They were open to suggestions and looking for a culture fit, with no flexibility.

This was genuinely the most pathetic interview experience I have ever had. The interviewer showed zero interest in me, what I could offer, or me as an individual. She asked me to bring my resume but didn't even glance at it let alone ask me any relevant questions. I had to volunteer information about how I could add to the team or provide relevant experience. She couldn't maintain eye contact and kept checking her watch. She told me candidly that this role was important to fill because it would help her in her personal career advancement goals. When I asked her what the biggest issue the company was facing, she said "employee retention", well if this interview is anything to go by then I am not remotely surprised because she could not have made it more clear that she didn't have the time or motivation to be in that interview. She didn't even have the courtesy to walk me out. If you weren't interested in meeting with me, don't ask me to come interview or at least cancel it. Sincerely the biggest waste of time in terms of interviews I have ever experienced.
