Job candidate hangs up on interviewer mid-sentence after a train wreck phone interview: ‘Clowns hire other clowns, and the whole place turns into a circus’

Job interviews are stressful enough without conceited, narcissistic potential colleagues as our interviewers. The job market is unforgiving, and the fact that we need money to survive in every way makes the job search our top priority. This pressure influences us to overthink, second-guess, and most of all, flail under pressure. We can cry all day about why the system is set up the way that it is, but that does us no good; We have to keep on, and keep on quickly. No matter what, there's a role out there for all of us, and it's up to us to discern what is good for us and what we'll quickly pass on.

The digital age makes it slightly easier to put our work eggs in multiple baskets. Platforms such as LinkedIn and Indeed guide us in a direction best-suited to our career needs, and cell phones help us keep in contact with potential employers more easily than in the past. Unfortunately, what comes with digital interviews is the potential for folks to feel too comfortable saying anything that comes to their mind. Yes, even the impolite thoughts. Especially the impolite thoughts…

Power-tripping members of upper management in their respective workplaces have one thing every time, and it's the gall to do and say whatever they please. If you are interested in their company, too bad. What can you do for them? By the way, you're unqualified. Also, give us 25 minutes to berate your accomplishments. Wait a month. No, we don't want to move forward with your application…

Scroll below to read about one phone interview a job seeker recently had, where they decided that they aren't going to waste their time listening to the director of a company make fun of them.
