Today, I had an interview experience that left me quite disappointed.
During a technical round, I was asked about certain product use cases. While I tried to respond, I realized I couldn’t frame my answer exactly as expected, possibly due to limited exposure to that specific tool.
However, what stood out was the interviewer’s reaction. The tone felt abrupt and somewhat dismissive, which made the interaction uncomfortable.
I completely understand that not knowing every answer or not being shortlisted is part of the process. But the way a conversation is handled makes a significant difference.
An interview is not just about evaluating a candidate — it also reflects a company’s culture. Patience, respect, and professionalism, especially from experienced interviewers, are essential.
I hope organizations continue to focus on creating a more respectful and supportive interview environment.
