Yesterday I had a Teams interview with the COO of a non profit. She did the interview from her phone but failed to correct her view of how she looked in the frame. I had to look at her nostrils in great detail, the lower part of her eyes for the entire interview. How did she not see this on her frame? It was totally distracting and unprofessional. She was late for my interview and her questions seemed to repeat themselves on content. It gives a bad vibe of culture.

Was my Mom your interviewer? 😂 That's how every video call looks with her. Seriously though, I would have struggled through that as well. It sounds like she wasn't engaged in the process at all. If you get called back for another interview (or get an offer), do you think you'll take it?

The nostril view is hilarious to me. How do you not notice that on your own screen?! That alone would be giving me weird vibes. The bad questions + lateness are just icing on the cake.

Definitely doesn’t pass the vibe check, on to the next.

She knows and didn't GAF. Nonprofit.. Nuf said

That interview sounds uncomfortable and distracting. It is surprising how often senior leaders overlook basics like camera framing. It says more about them than you.
