So I attended a virtual interview yesterday, about growth marketing. I follow the interviewer, and thought the interviewee was worth listening too.

About half way through the interview, they started talking about LinkedIn trends.

Nothing too surprising, until I heard the words: recruiters are idiots.

Now I am a recruiter in my day job.

Needless to say it left a bitter taste in my mouth so I exited the interview shortly afterward.

How do you deal with this mentality?
