Oh, I didn’t mean the content, I meant the purpose of it. In my experience, it wasn’t just about testing the interviewees, it implies having to ‘sell’ the company as well, to give the interviewees reasons to want to be hired. That’s the bit which generated the guilt.

Having to hold interviews was the worst part of the job, by far… Brings about a certain kind of guilt, to sit there and try to sell battery acid as ice-cold lemonade.
