| Jun 12, 2019 at 16:47 | comment | added | user70848 | @Jay, I guess we go on different interviews. Recruiters I work with, including those within the company, have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to the details of the role. All of it gets discussed with the hiring manager, in 30 minutes. | |

The recruiter should be able to describe the role -- if given an offer, you should also be able to spend time talking with the hiring manager about the role. Spend the time in the interview showcasing your capabilities. There will be more time later in the process for detailed questions about the job. | |

| Jun 6, 2019 at 11:34 | comment | added | Jay | I've been interviewed and have interviewed in formats with a 15-20min behavioral interview - 30mins isn't unusual and should be plenty of time to recount 1-2 of your past experiences while responding to the interviewer's questions. | |

| Jun 4, 2019 at 17:18 | comment | added | Smitty | Good answer here... I was in a phone screen a few days ago and was asked "Tell me about a time you worked with a team." Since I have been an independent contractor without a team for ten years, I had to dig up a half baked story from fuzzy memory on the spot and I could tell immediately that I duffed it... I should have thought ahead and practiced a bit (If I actually wanted the job)... Im definitely going to incorporate this advice..+1 | |
