Really minor but I interviewed with a big second tier tech company that you’ve heard of and right after asking me the first question decided that would be the best time to raise his standing desk, which was very slow to raise and required him to sort of weird hover and stand in time with the camera as it rose. Not rude but really distracting.
- asimpletune 5y agoHaha did he pretend to “walk down the stairs” after that?
- simonbarker87 5y agoHaha, that might have made it a bit less awkward to be honest - heck, even saying “hey, I’ve planned badly, I’m just going to pop up my standing desk” would have been enough
- jstx1 5y agoThis is so minor that I don't think it belongs; I'm surprised you even remembered that it happened.
- simonbarker87 5y agoI remember it because it was an amusing and slightly weird interaction in hindsight. I remember all sorts of odd actions from me and others over the years. If you don’t absorb and remember how others act around you (and how they react to your own actions) then you can’t improve your own actions in the future. That seems like such an obvious thing to do I don’t think it needs stating; I’m surprised you even thought to bring it up.
- scrapcode 5y agoThe 3rd person view of this in my mind is hilarious.
