Had an interesting interview experience recently. 👀
I joined the call, turned my camera on as requested, smiled my best "please hire me" smile...
And the interviewer?
Black square. Just a name and a logo.
I politely asked if they'd like to turn their camera on too.
"Oh, I prefer to keep it off."
So let me get this straight —
You need to see MY face to evaluate me...
but I don't get to see YOURS while you're judging me?
Interviews are a two-way street. Candidates are evaluating the company just as much as the company is evaluating them.
This small thing told me a lot about the culture before I even got to the first round.
Has this happened to you? Would it affect your decision to join a company? 👇
