In all four of the interviews, the focus of the interview was on discussion and them feeling you out. There were a few behavior questions in the initial screen and a few with the hiring manger but their focus is you as a person over your hard skills.

In all four of the interviews, the focus of the interview was on discussion and them feeling you out. There were a few behavior questions in the initial screen and a few with the hiring manger but their focus is you as a person over your hard skills.

Like I said above, the actual interview questions were not related to the job description or position at all. Think of the question(s) as "How would you land a plane during a thunderstorm with one engine on fire". My answer was 'I am not a pilot, and I have no idea why you want me to answer this because I never said I was a pilot". I made sure to confirm with the interviewer if this was a trick question that was meant to evaluate my ability to think on my feet. After 2 or 3 questions like this we both realized that something was wrong with the process.
