A man was pushed to his limits in a job interview and scolded the man he was interviewing
A man revealed on Reddit that he told a job candidate he needed to "shut up and listen" after an exhausting interview.
In the post, the man explained that he and his colleague were "interviewing this guy for a very good software engineering position." The candidate passed the first round, and everyone agreed that he had a great "resume and experience."
"On paper, he had everything we were looking for, and honestly, this looked like a life-changing opportunity for him," the poster explains.
However, when the man showed up for the second interview, he was "very serious and not smiling at all."
After a round of introductions, the man immediately asked if he could tell them a bit about himself.
“He started talking and talking about his personal and professional background. After about three minutes, I jumped in to ask a follow-up question based on something he mentioned. He replied, 'I will answer, just give me a moment,' and continued talking,” the man recalls.
“A coworker jumped in with another question, and he said the same thing to her. But after more than five minutes, I jumped in again with another question. I had to talk over him to do it," the poster adds. "He finally paused and answered, but in such a long-winded way that he ended up veering into another topic."

“Thanks for your time. Don’t call us. We will call you. NEXT!”

Not that the story is not believable but this is Reddit were talking about here...
INTERVIEWER IS LUCKY THEY DIDN’T SHOW UP WITH A PARENT
AFTER A LIFETIME OF “PARTICIPATION TROPHIES” seems that is what they do now.
IF I were interviewing anyone who showed up with an parent-—the interview would be INSTANTLY OVER.
He’d make whiteboard design meetings drag on.
I drove to the companies HQ, and I interviewed with different members of the team, some in person, some on video. The woman who would have been my boss showed up late, half way through the interview. I wasn't even annoyed by that, although I would never do that. But then she came in and said, "I'm not going to ask you any questions." That really annoyed me, but I didn't say anything. Then she gave me "homework." She wanted me to do actual work, and it was a project that it would take at least 60-80 hours to do properly. I felt dubious it was professional to ask me that.
But no matter how rude to me they were, I was going to be nothing but polite. Which I normally am. But my friend had who worked there had set up the interview, so even if they had punched me in the face, I wouldn't have ever done anything but smile. I think my friend was embarrassed by what happened, and he didn't work there much longer. I opted out of doing the "assignment" they gave me.
We will keep your resume in the round file.
Google?
I have worked with people who info dump on you. Dude, I just wanted to know when you would have the project done, I did not need a play by play of all your problems.
So could be true but I trust nothing that comes off of "FakedIt".
If you can get by IT people idiosyncrasies and know how to manage them, a lot of them are very talented people. I had one lady who was black & white and no filters. Told our marketing group to look past that and whatever she programs will be rock solid. Similarly, I would caution her about how marketing people could be all over the map with their requirements. It was a delicate balance but effective if everyone could understand the others perspective.
Barack is interviewing for a software position?
The current contract I’m working on, I was hired without an interview based on my resume’ alone. I’ve been doing software QA for 25 years, mostly automation.
If I go on an interview and they give me a coding test my usual response is, “The test you’re giving me has nothing to do with test automation. I’ve probably forgotten more programming languages than all of you know put together.”

I didn’t know Barry Obama was looking for a job.
Why bother telling him anything except “thank you for coming in. We’ll let you know?” Waste of time.
Hannity looking for a job?
This is an actual news story?
Yep...hard to believe any Reddit story.
That’s abusive, trying to get free work out of people under the guise of an interview and job hire.
And it’s just flat out wrong.
I presume you didn’t take the job.
Dude, I didn’t ask you how to build a watch, I just asked you what time it is.
