Autotrader interview questions

They set up a phone interview. I had a 1:1 phone interview that lasted about 30 minutes. They asked me a lot of questions about my resume, and some general questions: 1. Why do you think you're a good fit for this position? 2. What strengths would you bring to our team? 3. What do you consider to be your greatest weakness? 4. Asked about my experience with writing communication plans. 5. Asked about a time when I had to give constructive criticism and how I went about it. 6. Asked how I go about gathering information in order to develop messages. 7. Asked specifically about my resume - lots of questions to see if I had experience with making videos.

I had applied online for a training position and never received any news. I later had a former employee of AT sumbit my resume and received a call from HR the next day saying that they were very interested in interviewing me. The HR person told me the hiring salary range for my experience and asked me if I was interested before setting up the interview. A day before the interview I received a phone call from HR again saying that the salary range she told me ended up being much higher than the manager would make an offer for and they wanted to know if I was still willing to proceed with the interview. I interviewed the next day with 2 different managers...they used a script and took turns reading questions to me. Since this was a training position, I asked them if the other trainers were using Captivate to create their e-learnings and/or develop their training content. They told me that they and their staff were just learning that software and that was a goal for their department. I brought along my laptop and showed them several samples of presentations that I had developed, as well as, giving them a copy of a CD with other examples of my work. The manager told me that she would follow up with me in a week. I sent a follow up email to thank both interviewing managers for their time and I never heard back. I had to contact HR myself to find out that they decided to hire internally.
