The person who interviewed me for a call center position read questions off a list. She then handed me the paper with all the questions (and answers) to "study" for a few minutes. We repeated the interview, having memorized the proper answers. I scored the highest and had my pick of clients to work with, only to last three days past training. I feel devastated.

It's alright. What matters is that you did your best.

It's likely that you had unrealistic expectations, that the position wasn't a good fit for you, or that the workplace was too demanding. It's critical to keep in mind that you tried your best and not to be too hard on yourself.

It's understandable that you feel devastated, but you should take comfort in the fact that you put in the effort and scored the highest on the interview. That shows that you have the potential to succeed in this type of role.

You may want to take this as an opportunity to reflect on what went wrong and use it to help you find a better job in the future. Good luck!

Sorry, that happened to you but look at the positives of it, it was probably a job that was not the right fit for you. Things always happen for a reason! Good luck with looking for another job. You have this!

Wait, what's the point of a shame interview? If everyone knows that it's fake, why not just hire them on the spot without going through the song and dance? Am I missing something?

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

I’ve recently left my job (unhappy with it) and am applying for new work. I have a few irons in the fire at the moment. I’m curious about a trend I am seeing: I like to think I’ve well documented my abilities and functions in my CV, as well as my portfolio. I’ve noticed that for some of these jobs that I can check every single box in the job description, I won’t even get an interview. I’m wondering if many of these jobs are posted for internal hires, but some stay open for weeks. What gives?
