I’m sharing my interview experience to help future candidates understand what to expect. From the start of the interview, both HR and the hiring manager did not appear very engaged. There was no proper introduction from HR, and during the interview, both interviewers seemed distracted. When I was responding to questions, the hiring manager frequently side-eyed the other HR representative, and at times smirked or laughed. This behaviour made the interview feel uncomfortable and unprofessional, and it was difficult to feel taken seriously as a candidate. There was also a clear mismatch between the job description and the expectations discussed. Despite the role being advertised as entry-level, there was surprise expressed over my lack of experience in certain areas, even though this was clearly reflected in my resume. I feel that better resume screening and more professional interview conduct would greatly improve the candidate experience. Overall, I’m glad I attended the interview as it helped me identify potential red flags early.
