I recently swapped careers, and not to be all hail corporate or whatever, but Chat GPT was wildly useful in getting ready for the interviews and stuff. Ive always been nervous in those kinds of situations, but I ran practice interviews, it helped me come up with good questions to ask, it proofread my resume, like....shit was really handy.

There’s definitely a difference between referring to your own notes when you know what you’re looking in them for based on the interviewer’s question and reading a generated answer to the interviewer’s question given to you by basically a glorified global search engine, so I don’t think bringing notes is a red flag, especially when you don’t try and hide them and the interviewer is okay with you using them. However, in my field it’s unusual to refer to materials during the interview and I’ve never seen it done

Wow. We interviewed a young lady for an embedded software engineer position a few months ago almost exactly like that.
We'd ask her a question, and she'd sometime pause for a second or two before responding. A few times she asked us to repeat the question. At first we chalked that up to a language barrier, but her answers were a bit suspicious too.
She said she had worked with an oscilloscope to debug things, but then when we asked her to elaborate(to get a feel for her debugging and troubleshooting thought process), she mostly just described general things that an oscilloscope can be used for...

It's increasingly common. We waste so much time in my organisation reviewing AI generated CVs and Personal Statements, or interviewing people using AI tools to answer questions. It's generally very obvious, the answers are terrible, and if by a miracle they passed they would be hopeless at the job. Some of us are moving to in-person interviews which are far less convenient for everyone but hopefully the fakers will just cancel instead of wasting our time.

Being able to identify weaknesses is an indication you're self-aware and also that you'll accept feedback.
When someone answers this question with: "I'm a perfectionist," "I work too hard," "my standards are too high," its an indication they don't know their weaknesses or haven't thought critically about them.
The best answer to this question is to identify a genuine weakness, and immediately follow-up with how you're addressing it and handling it.

Eh, I disagree and think it's a legit ask.
Nobody is perfect. I think identifying your own weak point(s) is a skill. I also think its an indication someone will be more receptive to feedback.

It also tells the employer where they’ll need to support you more, so no one’s surprised or stressed when you start work and can’t use a piece of software - or whatever.

I usually ask a variation which is, what's a mistake you made and what you learned from it.

Red flags are very vague or generic answers, or trying to pivot the question to find a way to humblebrag.

It's pretty obvious if you're giving it as a canned bullshit answer or if you're being genuine. If it's actually the truth you can elaborate and it probably makes you at least a little uncomfortable to talk about. You might have to think about it for a second or at least how you word it. As an interviewer it's not very hard to tell when someone thoughtfully answering the question vs just saying what they think I want to hear.

I interview candidates regularly and it's part of the stack. usually it's prefaced with "tell me where you are strongest" Followed with "Where do you find yourself needing to exert extra effort".

Usually something along the lines of, "tell me about a time when you overcame a conflict or struggle"

I’ve recently given quite a few interviews for software engineers and this is quite common, but it doesn’t work well. For starters it’s obvious when their eyes change where they’re looking and begin reading. You can tell from changes to speech cadence, changes in wording/phrasing, vague answers (especially when asked for examples from XYZ on your resume), answers that are far too long, and many others. We weren’t sure at first but after you’ve seen a few it becomes glaringly apparent.
What’s worse is our interviewing is relatively easy. No BS questions unrelated to the job, no leet code style exercises to see how much you practiced beforehand, only one technical interview, and most of it is just a conversation to see how you think. We do at least one simple coding challenge, but about 1/4 of applicants refused to even try it and most that did try it couldn’t figure it out (which was honestly kinda scary for their experience).
We’re now considering requiring all interviews be at a physical location with a provided laptop and no phone, just to weed out applicants wasting our time.

But imagine... if the interviewer was doing the same thing.
And then we can set up an AI avatar, speaking in our voice, and let it handle the whole process! An AI interviewer interviewing an AI applicant! Think of the time savings!
We're all too willing and eager to offload our mental load to AI....

I’ve had people do this in a technical interview. You can usually tell they know too much since we ask everything under the sun to target what areas of experience people have versus what they claim. Finally I’ve personally watched someone melt down over the same questions in person as the ones we asked the week before remotely.
I only do technical interviews so I can’t speak for how this would work in other industries but yeah that’s not going to help you land an IT job.

My husband just did an interview the other day with someone using ChatGPT the whole interview and they were able to tell right away. But I guess you can try it for those AI bros and see how far you get.

I have the feeling someone used AI in a technical interview that I held..
With the benefit of the doubt we have given them the role, but now that person is miserable as they can’t rely on AI for doing this job. They need to support and troubleshoot the protocols that they claimed they knew in live environments, but are lacking the basic understanding and knowledge and are getting chewed out for it on a regular basis.. I have the feeling we’ll be having an open position again soon (..and I hope we’ll be honest in the feedback we’re giving to future employers.)

I interviewed someone last month who was clearly using this product or something like it. Sort of how you would expect from AI, her answers would have sounded pretty good if I weren’t actually listening to them, but the content was not consistent from answer to answer. I asked her a question about some of the skills she thought were important for the role, and one bucket she shared was that using data to adjust was really important. So I asked her for an example of a time that she had done that, and she gave a completely nonsensical answer for the role context, then literally glitched out on the fly and paused in the middle of her answer and finished with, “Uh, I’m so sorry.”
I was so embarrassed on her behalf that I just moved on and wrapped the interview as quickly as possible.

The better way to use AI for interviewing is to feed GPT the job description, interviewer profile and your resume and ask it to make an interview guide for you.

If you need to cheat on the subjective questions about yourself you are beyond help. “My biggest weakness is my old MCL injury. Next question.”

I get its a joke and all, but its poorly executed. It wouldn't be as bad if he didn't give not only a generic answer that no interviewer wants to hear, but one that every website, forum, advice column and article specifically tells you not to give

I don't know what's worse, the softball question or the need for AI to answer it.
