lol, that does seem weird but there are a lot of new rules about transparency & fairness in recruitment now...if they like you (as in think you are suitable & what they are looking for) they may well offer you the job there & then, but if they have stipulated a closing date, then they may well only inform people after that closing date. That could be one of your questions you ask at the interview - good luck for it anyway! What's it for btw? xxx
