I just had a phone call interview this morning and the interviewer was rude, she was rush to hang up the call on me. For sure I won’t get a job but normally how you will handle a rude interviewer during phone call or in person?

If you’re really confident that you won’t get the role, then you could say something like… “I’m sorry, am I interrupting you?” or “It sounds like you’re busy, is there a better time for us to reconnect? I have time at X time on Y day”…

It’s a way to acknowledge that you don’t feel heard, and if you think you’re not getting the job anyway, then who cares…

Yes, she tried to cut off my words and rush to hang up the phone, I wish I could say something to her like you suggested but I couldn’t

Do you even want the position? If this is how they treat candidates, imagine how they treat staff. I have never encountered that before. I'm not sure how I would have handled your situation.
"Is there a better time for us to discuss this opportunity? You seem preoccupied at the moment."

Never be desperate enough to take a job where they treat you like that during an interview. It only gets more toxic, and you count this as a blessing that she showed her true colors from the get-go. Now is the time to start thinking of things you want to say if they do give you a call back as to why you wouldn’t be accepting that job. Don’t make that mistake.

Looking for insight into interview questions for lead tech program manager (L4) at Disney Streaming. How technical will the questions be?

I completed my interview loop at Google on August 12, 2022. My recruiter informed me on August 29th that due to a couple of realignments within the org, the hiring manager has not shared any feedback. I was informed on September 8th that the hiring committee is scheduled the next day (September 9th) and that I can expect a final feedback latest by September 12th. I wasn’t informed of the results and reached out, but the recruiter isn’t replying to my emails. Does this mean I was rejected?

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).
