It's odd being on the other end because if you have any shred of empathy you kinda feel for the people who are overwhelmed by the whole thing.

Just riff off the last answer, either agree or disagree, use it to build yourself up with a better loving story that no-one can top because your answers are the best loving answers

Otherwise those criteria seem pointless.

Group interviews are just sad because there is always one person who has 30 more things on their resume then the next highest person and it's painfully obvious the entire time whos getting the spot. Or it's just funny when said try hard loses out because they listed 30 inconsequential things and someone had 2 really stand out things.

i remember when i sat a group interview during the height of the recession. it was an entry-level customer-service position, and there were ten hugely experienced middle-management and career retail people who'd just been made redundant, and me. but i was 19, so they only had to pay me ~$16/hour compared to a >21-year-old's $20. i got the job

the best way to get hired is to sleep with the interviewer before the interview why don't more folks follow this advice? e: also, apply for jobs at places where your friends or family work and have recommended you apply for a position. does nobody network any more?

I was once in a group interview and it got real awkward after a girl said her advocacy experience was "Protesting at abortion clinics and outside the capital building", and the girl right after her said "The opposite of that".
