So, at the top of the week I had an onsite interview. Mind you, this interview is for an intern program that could’ve potentially led to a full time opportunity. It was a two panel interview, one of the interviewers showed up late. Like, 20 - 25 minutes late. I’ve already sat down with the other one, conversations going really well. I’m answering the questions right, taking notes and asking questions. The second interviewer shows up, already has an attitude I can tell. I stand up, shake his hand and go from there. As the other interviewer, asks me to go through my resume again, this guy literally stops me and says “you don’t know anything”. Literally. Remember, this is for an intern position. Guy gets offended because I’m interested in pursuing my masters. He’s literally grilling me on education, which this is a technical role. No technical questions asked. I ask him what he is looking for in a candidate for the role. This guy straight up tells me, I’m looking for a new undergraduate, that has no experience but then goes on to tell me I don’t know anything 😂. I then ask him questions regarding what he’s saying to me. I turn to the company values, and reiterate what he’s saying. He ended up staggering and being shocked because he knew, I did my homework and researched the company and that how he’s acting doesn’t align with the company values. The program manager has a shocked look on her face. Interview ended, and I reiterated to him that with his experience he can teach me. Long story short, drove 6 hours 3 there 3 back. The recruiter didn’t even reach back out to me just sent a we’re not moving forward.
