Sentimentalist's Theory

A sentimental favorite theory of mine to explain the botched interview, put forward by a friendly manager at my work, is that my interviewer may not have been the one to decide that I should be interviewed, thus explaining the weird and unknowledgeable questions.  I say it is a sentimental theory because the implication is that someone higher up made the decision, and that is a very rosy implication indeed.

The other logical theory is that she simply didn't re-read the resume before my interview (given I sent it in 2 months ago), and thus she wasn't completely prepared.  Or, more matter-of-factly, the job is so unimportant that the interviews were perfunctory at best.

At any rate, barring a surprise, I should know by middle of next week whether I get a choice of changing jobs, or whether I go back to square one on the job hunt.
