None

During the infectious disease period, the interview this week was conducted by video.

The invitation included the manager’s name.

- After logging in, I saw that both the manager and HR were online.

However, neither had their camera on, so I turned mine off as well. After HR turned hers on and asked me to turn mine on, I switched it back on.

- The manager logged off immediately after I joined. I don’t know if I looked too terrifying or what (okay, then).

- HR began a lengthy series of questions.

My reason for leaving was already written on my résumé, so I don’t know why, like so many companies, they had to ask me to explain it again and then write it down in their notes. It took even longer than at many other companies. She didn’t understand even when I used euphemistic wording, so I explained it multiple times.

She finally understood, but then thought I had criticized my former company in a direct tone and recorded it that way. (But that was only my personal impression. I felt that I had stated the facts in a tactful tone; after I repeated myself several times, she finally understood. My personal impression was that she seemed to think I was criticizing my former company.)

- Then two female managers joined. They said they would be the direct managers for this position, but the invitation did not mention these two... Perhaps the incompetent manager did not dare to conduct the interview and brought someone in as a shield. If they were going to use HR and subordinates as shields, and had no intention of interviewing candidates themselves, they should have told HR not to waste so much time asking meaningless questions...

- I was already exhausted after the interview with HR. During the interview with the two female managers, they seemed to want to end it, and since I was tired too, I thought, fine.

- The manager who was too incompetent to hire people and used subordinates as a shield did not turn on their camera. The two female managers interviewing me kept their cameras off from beginning to end, which was very disrespectful. (That said, after HR—the person who asked me to turn on my camera—logged off, I could have seen that they had theirs off and turned mine off too. They did not ask me to keep it on, but since both of them were women, I thought I could accept leaving it on, so I kept it on.)

- The female managers asked a few questions and then let me ask questions, but they were in a great hurry to end the interview and showed very little patience. I felt very uncomfortable and decided to withdraw from the second interview.

- If the incompetent manager did not dare to hire people, they should not have brought someone in to conduct interviews... What a waste of time.
