So, I think I've figured out some insights about interviewers' language they use.

I had a job interview where I was really excited at the job prospect. But, that excitement diminished as soon as the interviewer wished me luck with life at the start of the interview. Clearly, that was her way of telling me her interview questions were just perfunctory. Right? This happened last week. Not a peep from her since, asking me to interview with anyone else or offer me the job. I answered her questions and asked relevant questions back too.

I really don't like interviews. You have to decode everything while you're responding to questions. It's just a lot of stress.

Dear Motts,

Interviews can be rough.

I used to conduct interviews a lot several years ago. The thing that I looked for in applicants was not something on their resumes. Even the interview questions were of secondary importance to me. The thing I always tried to figure out was: "Is this someone I can work with?"

I tried to figure out if the applicant had a good attitude and if our personalities would mesh. If a qualified applicant, even a highly qualified one seemed like they would be a difficult employee, I would not be interesting in hiring them.

I don't know if this information would be helpful to you. Hopefully you will get many responses and some will be helpful to you.

Sincerely yours, Yao Wen
