Interview tip #1: don’t be afraid to throw it back when they’re being dumb
3 answers
Sometimes I think they just wing interviews to feel important. Like sorry, I didn’t block out my afternoon for your improv session
I’ve done this too. “Actually, that’s the first bullet on my resume.” silence. awkward shuffling. sweet revenge 😌
good on you for flipping it right back. sometimes the only power move is calling out the nonsense 😤
I had a guy (looked like he still lived in a dorm) ask if I had editing experience. it’s literally listed FOUR times on my resume. I told him straight: “Did you read it or just skim it for fun?”
being too polite just lets clueless ppl feel powerful. nah. if an interview starts that bad, you’re not getting hired anyway. might as well make ‘em squirm a little
