How to overcome a breakup. I'm heartbroken 😭

I have an initial recruiter phone interview with Square Thursday. Is it it just a phone call or is it a video call and they didn’t specify. If it’s a video call what’s the dress code like? I’m coming from consulting so all my interviews were in suits. Any tips to get past the recruiter phone screen?

I wouldn’t think too much into it at first. Some people are annoying and don’t know what else to talk about besides work and achievements the first time around. They don’t know asking about career achievements is less socially acceptable these days. They also may be impressed by your past work.
I wouldn’t reveal too much and keep it to small chatting while just listening to them talk. Things will reveal itself overtime.

If it happens again, speak up when you’re interrupted “I was still speaking.”
Don’t apologize.
Agree!
Don’t give it too much thought. Just file it away. But also, keep it work only. Avoid sharing anything personal.
She may be socially awkward and trying to fill every moment with stupid questions
Hmm.. I wonder if it was just an off day for her? I'd try not to read into it or assume the worst. Just be confident in YOU and don't worry about whether or not she meant anything with those questions. You can't know what's in someone else's mind and most times our imaginations make up worse scenarios than the truth
Yeah it's annoying that she would do that, but it's also possible that she's just trying to figure out what your previous experience has been, not that she's doubting your skill/qualification level
Ehhh, some people are terrible at making a good first impression, I wouldn't write them off just yet. Give it a couple of weeks and see if you notice any patterns.
I wouldn’t write her off just but I wouldn’t dismiss how you feel.
Thank you
