How do you handle an interview gone wrong? I spent four hours in a superday being grilled by a VP who clearly didn't even read my resume. He kept asking me about my experience with Python when the job description specifically called for VBA and SQL, which is what my entire background is in. When I pointed it out, he looked at me like I was the one who was confused and ended the interview early.

Remember that an interview is a two-way street and essentially a preview into the role, culture, reporting lines and so forth. If there was a lack of respect and preparation on the company‘s side, don’t chalk it up to a performance issue on your end but rather a lack of fit. It simply was not meant to be, this time - keep it up!

Delete from my memory and move on

Sounds like a blessing honestly. Sorry for the bad experience.
