Grant Thornton interview questions

This was a few years ago, but it just came to mind and I wanted to share some feedback about the experience. I remember applying for an HR role and being interviewed by Rhia Girmendonk Dee for the initial interview. From what I recall, the interaction felt quite cold. She asked me to start by asking questions rather than asking about my background first. I’m generally a curious person and I do like asking questions, but I usually do that after the interviewer has asked about my experience and the conversation has flowed a bit more naturally. In that situation, I was expecting to first share my background and experience, but since the format was different, I ended up asking most of the questions and sharing my experience as part of my responses. Because of that, the conversation felt a bit awkward and less like a natural dialogue. Overall, the interaction felt quite procedural and there was limited rapport, which made the experience feel less warm or engaging than I had expected.

HR to the interview process was very smooth with step by step details. Interview was timely with very relevant questions and comfortable environment. Was quick and response did not take too long.
