Agreed. Another line that irked me: "They don't realize (the interview) is a sales event." I don't think it is. You're interviewing me and I'm interviewing you

Agreed. Another line that irked me: "They don't realize (the interview) is a sales event." I don't think it is. You're interviewing me and I'm interviewing you. You're potentially getting my time and my soul. That's not just for sale - we need to see whether it's a good fit. If we can't even move past your desire to see me put on an act in the interview room, maybe it's not a good fit. However, things like answering cell phones are valid concerns. That's blatantly rude.
