weird interview
I just had an interview i was really looking forward too and it didn't go well. I answered most of the questions so i'm not shocked to not get an offer but the way it was conducted made me feel awful after. I just feel terrible about myself.
The interviewer expected me to be a man initially which happens sometimes but that doesn't translate to anything weird in past experiences b/c my name is gender neutral. This guy gave me the vibe that he didnt want to work with a woman and didnt like to hear technical things come out of my mouth and it made him feel insecure and he was going to take it out on me. Like when I got answers right, he looked uncomfortable. And when i got answers wrong, he had a creepy sense of validation. I know people will be like "you're being sensitive..that's just their face, how can you tell?" I've bombed interviews before and i know when people either dont care, are uncomfortable by how much im bombing, getting their sexism validated, or are being nice.
It is a major energy suck and it makes me feel terrible so i just wanted to vent because i was just so excited beforehand and i also felt like a dumbass because i just smiled throughout the whole interview when i wanted to tell him to fuck off.
