Today, I had an interview for a job as a software developer. The person interviewing me started by asking if I could speak Hindi. I told him I could understand it but wasn't good at talking because I'm from South India. He gave me a mean smile, which made me feel really unsure of myself right away. đ We went on with the interview. He asked a question that was kind of a design question, and when I tried to answer, he didn't really listen. Even when I asked him some questions, he didn't give a good answer. He was busy with his phone, and it seemed like he wanted to say no to me. I'm feeling pretty down about it. đ I don't get why he acted like that, but now I feel dumb after doing the interview.
always remember - all interviews are bidirectional even though the employer side likes to pretend it isn't. you didn't fail the interview. they did.
Don't feel dumb :) There are plenty of companies, keep applying and ignore mean people đ¤
Probably good it didn't go Well. You don't want to be working with people like that anyway. Interviews don't just help orgs figure out if they want you, you also get to decide if this seems like a good place to be and if the people seem nice.
Keep at it. Good things take time
Imagine the nightmare you were to work for this company
Don't overthink it. Follow the process and you'll come out stronger
#rant Damm yesterday i met the most dumb@&& idi&âšt interviewer ever. I was interviewing with him for principal engineer role. Oh dude his ego was out of the roof, Asking a question and then saying ok leave it aside jumping to next quest...
So basically I don't hesitate in challenging the interviewer if I feel like they don't know how to interview a senior candidate
so during many interviews, this is how I have caught them off guard:
Not sure whether this is something to tom-tom about. Talks more about the quality of interviewer & the approach taken...
Had an awful experience during an interview at Cisco recently. I cleared all technical rounds so was pretty excited for the HM round.
First, the manager who was supposed to interview me kept canceling and rescheduling. Then on the day ...
