The first part of the discussion was clear, as the job responsibilities were well-aligned with my current experience. ​Focus on irrelevant theory: The interview quickly shifted toward purely academic questions (e.g., the textbook definition of electrical current). Minutes were wasted on recalling definitions instead of evaluating practical experience. ​Inaccurate claims and academic assumptions: The manager listed terms he claimed I should know because he held the same certification I do. However, after checking later, I confirmed those terms did not exist in the official documentation provided by the certification organizers for that year. The term mentioned was actually a technical catalog spec for specific market products; without direct experience with those products, it is impossible to draw correlations just by "guessing." ​Dissonance between requirements and reality: Although they initially mentioned looking for people "willing to learn," the attitude was rigid and punitive regarding any memory gaps. The interviewer’s approach felt more like a test of ego. If this is how they communicate with a candidate, I have serious reservations regarding the organizational culture and the relationship with subordinates. This unprofessional attitude turned a promising interview into an exhausting experience that I couldn't wait to end.
