I have actually found that is pretty much always a problem. If you pull out something the interviewer is unfamiliar with they will often assume you are full of it. I have had such people refuse perfectly good explanations for things they haven't heard of because they assume incompetence before that possibility.
- laumars 7y agoThat's a sign of a bad interviewer and thus also an indicator of potential bad management. I'd take those experiences as a blessing rather than a curse.
