Shopify states the Life Story interview would be "... a genuine, two-sided conversation where we get to learn about your values, your career, side projects, volunteer work, self-taught skills and what you want to do next. We’ll start from a point of time in the past of your choice (like what you wanted to be when you grew up, or what your first job was) and work our way through to today." Therefore I was surprised when my interviewer spent 90% of the 30 minutes asking questions about only one of my previous jobs. When I tried bringing up my different roles, experiences, hobbies etc they didn’t seem interested and would just move on to the next question about the one job. Different reviewers have commented how their “life story interview” felt like a conversation with a friend and that’s how I approached the situation but didn’t feel that was reciprocated by the interviewer. Also, I had several questions I was excited to discuss and felt the interviewer wasn’t very interested nor excited about answering them, which made me feel like I was annoying them so I didn’t even end up asking all of them. Shortly after they informed me they decided to go with other candidates but I know they were still conducting interviews for at least another week after my interview so I felt like the interviewer must have really not liked me to cut me off that early. It’s unfortunate as I was really excited about this role and felt like it could have gone differently had I spoken to another interviewer.
