Brilliant interaction with the recruitment agent to reach interview stage. Company moves quickly to hire. 90 minute interview to discuss a task provided in advance. 2-person panel interview. UX Manager (UXM) and Content Marketing manager (CMM). Role reports to CMM despite being a UX-specific role. Interview went pear-shaped with CMM. While explaining my work I used the term 'grandma test', widely used to refer to the user-friendliness of interfaces. CMM instantly accuses me of being ageist and sexist. UXM speaks up on my behalf, saying it is a recognised test. I knew the role was gone at this point but also defended myself and the test name. Should have stopped the interview and requested an apology because of the interviewer's ignorance. Yes, BS-W, you were ignorant. Learn and do better for future interviews.
