What a Bizarre Interview

Source: HR Lady

In most cases, candidates are expected to carry their CV’s with them to an interview. Imagine a situation where the hiring manager will not refer to your CV but just check your answers on a sheet of paper.

Here is what a job seeker went through at an interview.
I went through the weirdest interview yesterday. I was interviewed by a panel of managers. The managers had five key questions. I was told at the beginning of the interview that they had received 200 applications and that recruitment used the CV’s to select 25 qualified people to interview.

The hiring managers were not part of the initial screening (this is an HR related job so they were all in HR) and did NOT want to see our CVs so that they had no biases towards the candidates before the interviews. They asked us a total of 5 interview questions. They had a score sheet and were checking off answers to the questions as we went along.

Maybe I am inexperienced, as I have only been in the field for one year but is this normal? Does this method add value to a candidate?

Have you been through a similar experience?
