I reversed my attitude for interviews. If the employer has an interview process that doesn't respect my time, my experience, and my ability, then I don't want to work there.
My attitude isn't "As a candidate, I failed that interview." My attitude is "That employer failed to have a process that enabled them to hire someone as awesome as me." I know that I'm a 10x-100x programmer at the places I've been, and if your interview process can't identify that, then that's your problem and not my problem.

- perdunov 11y agoMy takeaway from being both an interviewee and an interviewer is that the most correct attitude after a failed job interview is "We don't match each other". The interviewer is testing their own ability to properly conduct a job interview as much as they're testing the candidate. I realized it when I was interviewing candidates myself. Also, people and companies are drastically, surprisingly and ridiculously different. You may fail badly at one interview, and it means nothing, you can just move on to the next company and prosper.
- a3n 11y agoYes, everyone should keep in mind that you are interviewing the company as much as they are interviewing you. Everything is a signal.
