Informal chats vs real interviews?
When a headhunter or HR reaches out and frames a meeting as ‘just a chat’ rather than an interview, how should candidates interpret it? Is this standard practice, or should it still be treated as a formal evaluation? I was recently contacted by an HR professional who said she just wanted to know more about me and presented it as a casual chat—was this likely just to ease tension, or is there more to read into it? Unfortunately, I did not get past this stage in the end. Why is there a need to "get past this stage", if that encounter wasn't an interview? Of course, I did my best in selling myself during that encounter.

As of a month ago, I officially turned 16, which has given me a broader base of jobs to go after and apply for. I'd like to start applying for jobs, and hopefully, work a steady job before I turn 17, so I can develop my resume history and work-place skills.
