Worked insanely hard on an application, hours of work. I was so excited. This was the first stage, the HR screening. It’s a Teams meeting. Right away, tech issues. I can’t hear her. Turns out she’s on mute. Then she says I keep freezing up. I get off and join the call back. She’s thanking me for agreeing to do this and I accidentally hang up in the middle of her saying thanks. Awesome. When I rejoin I’m still frozen. At this point the interviewer seems really annoyed. She says we should just do the interview. I’m absolutely nervous and destroyed at this point. She won’t look directly at the screen, I’m sure I was frozen into some awkward cringe photo. She says I have a bad connection. I didn’t turn my camera off, like an idiot. I begin rambling and being unclear, over explaining. I can’t get a read on her, she’s totally shut down. Nothing I’m saying is getting through. I can’t change this really disdainful look on her face. She ends the scheduled 30 minute interview at minute 13. I’m still kind of in shock, but only ask one question when she asks me if I have any, because it’s clear she wants this to end.
