Don't know how I feel about this interview...

I had an interview today for the perfect job but I felt like I didn't get an opportunity to really shine. I first met with HR and they asked me about 3 questions (only one behavioral) and then asked me questions about my employment history. Then she took me to the unit to meet the unit manager and I had an interview with her. The unit manager then asked me only two questions (none were behavioral) and then had me ask her questions. I probably asked her about 6 or 7 because she just kept waiting for me to ask more. I've never experienced an interview where I felt like I was the interviewer and not the interviewee. I put in what I could to the conversation but I felt like they didn't ask much to get to know who I am which is discouraging. I feel like I won't get the position due to the lack of questions they asked. Has anyone else had an interview with success when the interviewer asked barely any questions?

Actually, I try to make all my interviews like this. I feel like I am not desperate for a job, I am employed full time as an RN sooooo it's just as much an interview for me as it is for them. I want the chance to ask every single question I have and to get them all answered because maybe I won't like what I hear and I won't want to be part of that place.

This has been very successful for me.

That gives me hope. Usually the interviews I go on the ask multiple questions and then just ask me if I have any questions at the end.

I will hopefully hear today or tomorrow. If not I suppose I will call. Fingers are crossed though, this is a specialty I wanted to get into.

I didn't get the job. It's okay though, I have a great job now just looking to get my foot in the door with a different specialty.
