Weirdest and most rude interview. First, they were a few minutes late. Right off the bat, instead of an introduction or summary of my most recent work experiences, I was immediately asked "why did I apply". I was caught off guard but explained my situation how I believe my experience aligned with the job description. Then I was told that they already have candidates who have stronger backgrounds and want "more than a job" - that was a extremely uncalled for and harsh comment. I cared very much about the role and did the most research I could before this intro call. If you already have candidates, why bother scheduling an interview?
Then I was basically hung up on. Sheesh...Bullet dodged for sure!
