What was the worst interview experience you've ever had? I once had an interviewer who spent the entire interview scrolling on their phone, not paying attention to my answers to their questions.

Most recently I got a burned out HR person who couldn't answer my questions about the company so started getting aggressive with me and angry. I also had 1 video interview where the guy leaned back and put his feet on the desk, so I could only see his shoes on the camera, and a woman who had the camera pointed at her chest :)

That's incredibly unprofessional! The worst one was when I had an interviewer who kept questioning my skills because I'm a mom. He kept making passive-aggressive comments about how mothers aren't committed to their careers, and so I ended up ignoring all follow-up correspondence after that.

Don’t pull out the big Stanley mug and suck on the straw!
