Captivate Presentations interview questions

I interviewed for a designer role. The interview was with the managing director and was more of a sales pitch - 90% of the interview wasn't about me. The questions had nothing to do with my work - they were all of a personal nature eg. what were you like in school, I bet you were really popular? The MD held what felt like an unnatural amount of eye contact - I'm unsure if it was intended to be intimidating or seductive - but it was certainly excessive and unnerving. During the interview he spoke about the other members of staff, revealing their personal backgrounds and openly stating they were not his or my sort of people but they did the job. Upon meeting the team I quickly realised they were exactly my type of people - authentic and talented - and for that reason alone I accepted the job. Fortunately, for my short time at this company, the MD was not present in the office and the other members of staff were friendly and helpful.

I had 2 interviews. Both were terrible. Upon first meeting the MD and his only other employee in Liverpool, I was quite optimistic and confident about the interview. However after sitting there for an hour listening to the MD try to oversell a company that basically makes Powerpoint presentations for other companies to busy to do it themselves, I realised it wasn't for me (or, anyone). The MD thought it was acceptable to answer multiple phone calls during both interviews, cutting me off mid sentence to speak with someone over the phone. At one point during my first interview, he became distracted by someone over my shoulder and totally ignored everything I had been saying to him. What a knock for my confidence! A completely abysmal first impression. After I calmed down about how ignorant the MD was to me, I was relieved to not be offered a job with the company. I suppose that's the only good thing that came out of the whole experience - I dodged a bullet!
