There was honestly a part of me that thought I might be getting recorded for humorous purposes.
Spoke to internal recruitment and then CEO. The latter was a bit unreal.
A first-time CEO with a social media presence that literally dwarfed that of the company, who was literally running an interview with another C-level applicant by asking ONLY pre-written questions and refusing any conversation point that may veer off from the aforementioned pre-written questions.
This was all so "first time" that simply couldn't believe it was sincere and/or actually happening.
But it was.
At one point, the CEO even gave that scolding-parental-look for me apparently not allowing her to talk enough when I was answering one of her pre-arranged questions.
Yikes.
