Interviews aren't only for the company to get a feel for you- it's also your chance to get a feel for the company. Would you want to work with someone who talked over you? How about someone more interested in boosting their own ego than doing their job (interviewing you)?
If the company thinks this is the person best qualified to judge applicants, you're dodging a bullet.
- chipperyman573 9y agoIf the company thinks this is the person best qualified to judge applicants, you're dodging a bullet. There are so many reasons this is a bad way of thinking. - A sample size of one is never enough. This alone is enough of a reason. - The interviewer could have normally been a great person but been having a rough day (maybe some personal stuff or a huge deadline coming up - every company has those every once in a while, you might have just got them at a bad time) - The original interviewer had to cancel last-minute (call from the hospital/school, car crash, etc) and the company decided that it would be more professional to put you with someone with less experience than cancel thirty minutes before your interview (which could be good or bad depending on how you see it) I'm not saying that you're completly wrong - it's definitely an indicator that the company may not be one you want to work for. But you shouldn't rule out a company because of one bad interview.
- logicuce 9y agoI guess the onus is on the company to fix these things rather than on interviewer. Let's say the candidate behaved in this way, should the company ignore it?
- chipperyman573 9y agoThe company probably won't ignore it, but they also might have missed out on hiring the best candidate for the position. Just like how you may miss out on the best career move.
- Beltiras 9y agoI'm ruled out after one bad interview. Why should I extend a company any more courtesy than it extends me?
- chipperyman573 9y agoDon't worry about "getting even" with a company. If a company is the best fit for you out of all the companies you interviewed at, you'd be doing yourself a disservice to cancel your application.
- Beltiras 9y agoIt's not about getting even. The company needs me more than I need the company.
