Hey all, had an interesting experience the other day, had an interview for a fall internship position that was slotted to be 30min+ last only 8 minutes....I thought the conversation was friendly enough, and I'm a fairly solid interviewer, but that's never happened to me before...is it fair to assume that's a terrible sign? I'd REALLY like that job....

Nothing you can do about it now so don't even think about it. Keep mailing

Bro, 8 minutes is barely al dente.

I make love in less than 8 minutes, you're good.

Means nothing. Sometimes interviewers have limited time. I wouldn't read anything into it one way or the other.

OP here,

thanks for the input, but the posts seem to be a bit conflicting...I thought I was a fairly decent interviewer, but again...8 minutes is quiet short....and it's clearly the end of an interview when they say "well thanks for coming in.." etc

eek. I guess this way I have more free time this semester?

Well, if nothing else, the OP's posts are making it easier to see why the interviewer may have wanted to cut things short.

OP here, I'm quite sorry if that was insensitive, I didn't mean to be, I'll edit that out

OP, I think the point was that maybe you should do a bit of work on your spelling and grammar...

How romantic.

Is this a paid fall internship position? If it's just free labor for an overworked government agency/DA's office I think they just want to see if you have a pulse.
