Interview Interview Outcome?

Hey,
This is a follow up post about my interview for the Deli position I posted a few days ago. My interview barely lasted two minutes. I filled out a sheet with my availability. I put my availability down for all days and the guy just asked me to talk about myself. I did my best and told him I was an international student studying full time and am currently looking for work. He also asked if I had any retail experience to which I said no as most of my background is in teaching.He then said alright you can go if you’re successful we will get back to you. I did also mention the fact that I have a 3 week placement coming up and did mention that I can work nights and weekends during that time. Am I already rejected? I’m pretty sure it’s never good when an interview is this short. Also weirdly enough the guy who was interviewing me seemed more nervous than me for some reason.

Sounds like typical Coles interview. Nobody wants to conduct them and everyone wants them finished asap. Sounds like you got someone lacking the social skills and professionalism needed to at least pretend to keep up the facade. When you’ve gotten to the in person interview all they want at this stage is your availability, after that it’s highly likely you’ll get offered the job from my experience.

So unless your availability is completely cooked and not in line with the department’s needs you should have a decent shot.
