405,815 sales interview questions shared by candidates

The interview was very, very simple - No "What is your greatest weakness" or "Where do you see yourself in 5 years" typical corporate questions. Not even the "Tell me about yourself" There is zero psychological probing. The interview was relaxed to be fair, it just didn't leave me wanting to work for Jasper - The question below wants to know if I got an offer. I don't have the faith that the offer would even find it's way to me IF it was their intention to provide it. I am not sure that they have the organizational skills to complete such a task after everything that I have seen. The most difficult question to answer is "WHY am I wasting my time with this interview?!?!" Tied with the question "Is THIS the best guy they could find within their company to represent them in the interview process?!?!"

At the end of the "humoring" review and affected discussion of my resume, I was asked why a person with my level of education with a degree from a college well known for its exclusivity of aptitude and challenging degree programs (obviously, more brusquely put than this, i think it was more like, "someone who went to a smart school") wanted a "job at a mall?" Not only was the delivery of her quick, astute summary of my resume unexpected, so was the suddenly subjective turn in questioning, and thus the inherent risk therein of an explanatory, comprehensive answer...
