Jesse Smith Byers

I showed up for an interview and was asked to wait in an otherwise-empty waiting room. The secretary went back and told the hiring manager I had arrived. He walked into the waiting room, and scanned the entire room looking for his applicant, not seeming to notice that I was sitting right in front of him. He then asked the secretary where Jesse was. It was immediately clear that he was not expecting a female applicant.

I can barely remember the details of the actual interview - the interviewer seemed disinterested, didn't ask me very many questions.

In my eyes the interview was over before it had even started - I did not belong there.
