I am interviewing for an investment consulting gig. In addition to the guy that initially phone screened me there will be 2 other people who will join in the in-person interview. These two I have interviewed with 2 years ago at the same company but for a slightly different job which I didn't get an offer for.
Should I bring this up in the interview? What's a good way to handle this without being awkward?
Some guys were talking about interviewing tips, and one guy had a really good one in particular. I suggest the same to you:
I wouldn't bring it up. Think about how the conversation would go. You: "I interviewed for a job with you guys last year! Do you remember me?" Them: "Get out and stop wasting our time."
If you remember what they asked you last time, that would be a major asset.
They probably don't even remember interviewing you. If it's a good firm they have too many candidates to care and remember each of them.
This actually happened to me during the beginning of my senior year. It was the super day at a BB for IB full time. I had interviewed for the summer program and was not accepted. They asked me to come back for full time interviews that fall (I obvi thought this was a good sign). Once I walked into the interview I immediately remembered the interviewer, the first thing he said was haven't i interviewed you before. the interview was already over. he asked me the exact same questions, all fit. I might as well have not gone to the interview.
If you're a likeable and confident guy, then feel free to bring it up in small talk. If you're ackward, then don't bring up anything that you don't have to. You'll just make yourself look more uncomfortable. Realistically, they won't remember you anyway. If you were memorable, you would have gotten the job.
