What about the time I got into a good cop/bad cop interview? It was for a local college instructor position. I was interviewing with the HR lady (who looked like a runway model) and some manager. The manager, the "good cop", asked me about my professional achievements, what programming languages I knew, and he seemed impressed with my answers. The HR lady, the "bad cop", asked questions like "Why do you want to leave your current job?" "Will your current company make you a counter offer?" The whole interview was aimed to portray me as someone who was just looking for an offer to get a raise and my current position.
After the interview I was told that "they had other candidates to interview, and I would hear back from them if I was chosen". I never did, and thankfully not. What they were looking for was someone to help get their online computer courses content. That meant, I was to prepare the content itself, which meant hours upon hours of research, and once set up, they would profit from that work for years from the work I did once.
