4,928 financier interview questions shared by candidates

The interview started with them telling me "My CV is exactly what we are looking for, you are above this role. Why would you want to take this?" which switched to, "Your CV is two level's behind for this role, why should we hire you?". These are conflicting statements that aren't clear nor did they provide any reason to why they suddenly changed their minds. It felt as if they didn't want to talk to me anymore and were just trying to end it. It also felt as if they were looking for me to say magic keywords in my answers and when they didn't get the magic word they told me I was wrong with no explanation. They asked me how I partner and work with my stakeholders, I explained how I work directly with C-Level in my current role. Providing examples of how I sit down and get hands on with helping them to plan the business strategy, resolve issues, and help drive finance forward at the company. To which I was told, "That's not a partnership". I am not sure what definition of partnership they were looking for but they constantly did this and told me I was wrong and not doing those things in my current role.
