Do you ever let how well/poorly your day is going affect when you're interviewing someone? I've been in interviews where it's obvious the interviewer wants to get back to work asap

I have been in an interview where the interviewer was thoroughly distracted. I left with a hole in my self esteem wondering if I was all wrong. Fortunately, I got to interview on another team in the same firm. I got the role and had several occasions of working across teams. The hiring manager told me two years later she will be happy to have me on her team. Not everyone gets a second chance and you could miss a good resource for your firm.

Well let’s see, you are human. Give yourself a break and then maybe do a second interview. Now you know exactly what you want to ask. Ask it, but give that person all of your attention- I’m sure that’s what you would want

Don’t forget that as an interviewer, you’re the face of your firm, and you should try to put your best foot forward just as much as a candidate does

I interviewed for an employed role and knocked my business plan pitch out the park, but could tell I disappointed them with my technical. By my own admission I’m lacking in this area as only have 1.5 years experience with a poor manager who only had me focus on biz dev.

They asked me what my salary expectations are but had already hinted my experience would knock me down a pay grade.

As it was 4 of them and 1 of me I said I would email them. How do I play this without lowballing myself?

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
