This is a terrible interviewer, it has nothing to do with you. They know what they want, but they don't know how to find it properly.
Don't be afraid to use you're own notebook/laptop to Google a solution, or keep asking questions about the desired solution.
Be free in not having all the answers either, be confident you can find the answers. An interview shouldn't be about vague technical hurdles you have to jump through.
It's about proving competence & compatibility of character.
If your interviewer is willing to end the interview because of one dropped ball, call them on it.
- ricardobeat 13y agoReally? I don't think there was anything wrong with the interviewer at all, he just wasn't at the level of experience they were looking for. There is no point in extending the interview beyond that point if you know it's not going anywhere.
- gesman 13y agoCompletely agree. Interviewer deserves personal performance review after making such conclusions. I think you got lucky by avoiding to work with these type of people before it got too late.

- misterjangles 13y agoIt would depend on whether they're looking for a promising candidate or somebody who is already experienced. If they wanted the later then it would be obvious this was not the guy. Still, I think spending 5 extra minutes of your life with a young person to help them not feel like a failure - I don't think is too much to ask either.
