Have you ever had a BAD job interview?
1. i applied for a job and while i was being interviewed the man asked me" :Do you really want a job or just a little bit of spending money???? I became insulted and walked out, and he went after me, and asked me if I wanted the truck driving job because the last person was not punctual. nevertheless; I kept on walking. When I first graduated from college in Food Administration, I applied for a job as a Food Service Supervisor and I was also working at night as a cook. The interviewer asked me and another boy how much cooking experience we had because many cooks do not always arrive at work; I told him I had 20 years cooking experience and he was looking at my college transcript, he offered me the job as a dishwasher( I was 25 yrs old) and offered the teenager the job as a Food Supervisor, and I became enflamed and asked him why?? he laughted and did not give me a answer, so I walked out.-
How do I deal with a bad interviewer?
There’s not a lot you can do about their attitude. However, I want to give you two examples of this kind of behavior:At a company I interviewed at, I was given a list of people I’d be interviewing with in advance, including the CEO. In the morning, the first thing the HR person told me was that the CEO might not be available (usually if that happens in the middle of your interview loop, that’s a bad sign). Anyway, I got all the way through my interviews and was told the CEO was unavailable, but I’d be interviewing with his assistant. She asked me a really weird series of questions, which I didn’t really understand, in a confrontational way. I got the job offer and worked there.I had an interview at a different startup for an Android developer job. My first interview was a 2 on 1 interview with two engineers, the guy I’d be working with and their iOS dev, who knew nothing about Android. The interview was what I would describe, at best, as a good-cop bad-cop interview. The Android developer would ask me about something I did, the iOS developer would talk about how I didn’t know what I was talking about, how I was bad and should feel bad. The best part of this was that some of the questions he asked had verifiable answers, but that didn’t matter. This got so bad at points that the Android developer would actually tell the other guy to calm down. I did not get a job offer.In the first case, the point of the interviewing strategy was to put you off-balance and see how you responded. In the second case, as far as I can tell the guy was being a jerk, although I’ll concede that he may also have been pushing me to see how I responded.I’m inclined to believe, in the case you’re describing, it’s more the latter (that is, being a jerk) than the former (that is, seeing how you respond). Frankly I’d encourage you to not work at the company—even if they make you a job offer, that interviewer is someone you don’t want to work with.
How should you deal with someone who is bad at interviewing?
I actually interview people for a living, but before that, I certainly experienced a few bad interviewers. So, my advice is:Be patient. Be kind. Be respectful. Some interviewers are just bad at it. Some hate it. Some are shy. Some have never received training on how to properly conduct interviews. Some get thrown into interviewing at the last minute. Some have had really horrible/busy days and they just aren't able to play their "A game" that day. Anticipate what you think the interviewer needs to know about you, and give it to the interviewer, even if the interviewer doesn't know how to ask for it. Describe your experience, strengths, and style. Tell him or her why you want the job, and how long you think you'll want to have it. Basically, your major goal should be to convince the interviewer that you are a great match for their company and their opening.If the interviewer doesn't tell you what you need to know about the job, feel free to ask. You'll want to ensure that you leave the interview knowing about most or all of the following: duties, work conditions, company size/mission/history/culture, team, boss, promotion opportunities, pay, benefits, hours, and, finally, the upsides and the downsides of the job.Don't judge the company by the interviewer. Or maybe do, especially if the interviewer is going to be your boss. Or if the interview seems to be an indicator of much bigger problems, although this can be very, very hard to gauge (sometimes the interview really has very little to do with the overall experience you would have on the job).
How should you deal with a bad interviewer who's degraded your previous work?
That’s an interesting question I saw on Quora, thanks for the A2A Pranav SinghaniaThat’s a test to see how you handle criticism.You must be able to convince him and sell your previous work, speaking about it from different perspectives. Explain a few difficulties you faced and how the client was impressed. If he is still not convinced, and sounds irksome, say that there are a few things you cannot reveal as a part of privacy protection of that organization!!

IS A BANK INTERVIEW FOR CAR LOAN BAD?
My husband and I are trying to get a car loan through Kia. The sales manager at Kia said everything looked good and the bank shouldn't have a problem financing us. Well today we found out that the bank wants to call us for an interview on Monday and our account is pending final approval. Does this mean we are leaning more towards not getting approved? Or because we are first time buyers? It's better to get an interview then them just declining it to begin with right? Any advice is helpful, the waiting game sucks!

I eat cookies while crying & rocking back and forth in a fetal position in the shower To be honest it's not that far from the truth.

How do I deal with bad English if interviews are conducted in English? (Please don't tell me to read newspaper and watch English movies)
I'm very unclear of what you are in terms of English grammar and when i faced the same i used to go to interviews few years back, i wished i'd known grammar and eventually restarted my learning to understand the language better.If you are as i was, who really wants to master the communication in English please, do try to buy a English grammar book which gives you a basic understanding and knowledge of what means and is what in every sentences constructed.At the beginning level, please go with books that gives simple understanding of verbs,nouns and different parts of speech. My best suggestion for you is, Wren and martin's high school grammar and as you get better you may switch on to Randolph quirk's A comprehensive grammar of the English Language which i felt to be best in making somebody to get deep knowledge about the language.Once you master the beginning level, you will have the senses and vision of the language better and you can really get into the phase of learning more vocabularies and their forms. The word "forms" i use here gives a so value.If you really are not interested in above all, i presume you wouldn't give a chance to yourself to master the language.(P.s please do not learn English through your mother tongue which would waste the entire process. you don't know a meaning please dictionary it.I hope this will be helpful to a certain extent.
Job interviews....how does a quiet person deal?
Interviewers don't want the truth, in the sense of "I'm bad at interviews." As wrong as it is, they are looking for personality as a factor, just because they're trying to see if they like you enough to spend 5+ days a week with you...something that really has nothing to do with your ability to do the job. Saying what you did just makes you seem like you lack social skills, and that's as huge a job opp killer as not having the skills for the job. The thing you have to understand about interviewing is there are "correct" answers, okay? It CAN matter who you know...but if you truly don't know anyone, then what you must do is figure out what the interviewer wants to hear and then give it to them convincingly. This is also unfortunate, but it's true. One thing I realized that completely changed my job search approach, for example, is all employers expect you to act like you really care about 1) the industry you're trying to work in, and 2) act like you really are enthusiastic about working their position only. They all want to know why you want to work for them or why you want the position, for example. There's a correct answer to that question. They are not looking for "quick learners," and this is another unfortunate thing. They want people who can come in like, "I've done this, this and that which you're looking for according to the job post." They don't want anybody who has to be taught how to do anything nowadays. You essentially have to be a salesperson for yourself and act like you've already done the job before, as well as like this job is way more exciting to you than the hottest celebrity in the world is.
