<p>I received a phone call from a company I interviewed with regarding an engineering job after I graduate. The interview I had was supposed to determine whether or not I would get hired. However, they want me to come in for a second interview and interview with some different people, but answering the same scripted questions that I answered the first time. They said my interview went well and that they had a very long discussion regarding who to choose. Now they are considering opening up another position in the engineering program (only one or two was available) and they want to interview me again.</p>

<p>Has anyone had any experience regarding this kind of thing? I am very curious as to what was lacking in my first interview. They are obviously interested in me but not interested enough to have given me an offer yet. They either want to hire one of two candidates for one position or they may want to create a new position so they can hire both candidates. Regardless of the situation, I have to make a case for why I should be hired. That won’t be easy since I have to answer the same scripted questions. It will all depend on the impression I give to the different interviewer. The impression I got from the phone call is that another person was hired and they want to see if I am worthy of having another position created for me. But they could also be interviewing the other candidate. Either way, my focus has to be the same.</p>

<p>S went thru one personal and 5 phone interviews with a well known company just to get a his summer job. And he wasn't really interested in this job, but his first choice fell thru after similiar phone interview process. </p>

<p>They want to meet you, see if have the similar chemistry as they do. Remember they are putting out a large chunk of $$ for an unproven article and they want to be assured that your school has produced a candidate as advertised.</p>

<p>Its like dating. Meeting the friends and family of the opposite is also a mutual dance. Who knows, you may not like the company or people and you best find out now rather than later. </p>
