I would be offended if I found out the end of an interview that the company didn't have any openings. It would be a waste of my time and theirs and I would have a bad taste in my mouth about that company afterward. It would be different if I knew beforehand. That's what I'd call a "practice interview." (I probably wouldn't go for such an interview at all.) -- "...dans ce pays-ci il est bon de tuer de temps en temps un amiral pour encourager les autres." --Voltaire, _Candide_ .
