I once was invited for an interview in a local company, that seemed to be considered among the biggest in my city. I was quiet happy about it and well prepared too!
After being done with the HR with small questions about my previous job and education and blah blah blah! I finally got to my technical interview.
The guy who was interviewing me, was a senior software engineer at that company and had been working there for a couple of years. He invited me to his office and handed me back my resume to write answers on the back of the page (yeah, that's exactly what happened).
It was a junior front-end developer's interview. 15 minutes through interview, he got a call on his cell. He picked up the call. That was probably from one of his friends and they were planning to hang out that night. 15 minutes, he talked and laughed and cursed on that call and I sat in front of him thinking "what a D"!
After continuing, he started questions about the frameworks that I had never worked on. I told him a couple of times that I don't know about this stuff but he just kept on going. And for the next 1 hour, I briefly said "I don't know that" even though I did know a whole bunch of those questions.
And then I asked him what's actually going on and he told me that they had already hired someone. So he was just messing around with me! I left in a state of anger and disappointment and took my resume with me!
You do get to get to experience these kind of interviews in your career where you just wanna get it done with and never look back again. They key is to never regret. Just take it positively and think of it as an experience that you ought to had in your life and move on.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
This is right.
