Bad interview, terrible managerial manners

Is it on your CV?

Don't have a CV. I've no interest in ever getting involved in any occupation that would require one.

In the world of real work, people are expected to stand up and take responsibility. When you do a lousy job, we call you out. No we don't humiliate you. We simply say you did a lousy job. Nothing humiliating about it. Simply the facts. Then you get on with things and get better. This is life.

Hmm, you say that but the teacher interviews are a bit over the top.

In any case in any interview I ever did I was:

1) In a room.
2) Not part of a group.
3) I wasn't told about failure or success in public.

so no, public shaming isn't normal. Nor is it in an office I have ever been in. Except one, where the boss fired contractors in an open plan office in front of everybody, but nobody liked that guy.

I'm supposed to be getting exam results tomorrow or Friday but think I'll go 'missing' just so I don't have to deal with the barrage of 'what did you get?' ' I got x' commentary following it.

If you genuinely felt humiliated, if they have a dignity at work policy or their bullying policy. , get your hands on it and write to their Head if HR, thanking them for the oppurtunity to interview, wish them well with their chosen candidate, but point out how they made you feel. . No organisation had to right to humiliate you. She might have been a recruitment contractor, might not have even an employee.

Wait a few weeks, and then torch the cnuts.

Good luck:)

I've done a lot of interview over the past couple of years and have to say nothing now shocks me in interviews or the follow up process.

I'm an accountant and work for an American MNC currently. Prior to this I spent some time working abroad in a few places. About 2 years ago I went for a 3 person panel interview with a semi state body and was basically asked did I ever have to bribe people during my time abroad. I said no its unethical and I would lose my qualification. She gave it a minute then comes back with in these places its normal practice to grease the wheels with incentives etc, I said please refer to my original answer. She gives it another minute and asks so your saying you never had to bribe some one or pay them off to get things done. At that point I was fuming but firmly said no, I'm a professional person, my qualification has a code of ethics which if I break them would result in me being not allowed to practice under said qualification.
when the interview concluded I bloody crushed her hand when I shook it. After all a frim handshake is required at all times
I didn't get the job.

I also went for another senior role a few months after that with another MNC and interviewed with the person I would report too. I arrived on time 5 on a Friday evening and was left for 20 minutes. No thanks for your patience when called. Proceeded to do a very solid interview which took over an hour and thought I had a decent chance of getting the role. Said they would call early the following week. Sent follow up mail to thank them for the time and register my continued interest. Week went by heard nothing. Called left message, no response. Sent mail no response. Follow up call, HR manager was on maternity leave. Left message for other interviewer, no response. Mail interviewer, no response. almost two years later and still waiting on that reply!!!!

Good job they didn't ask me to hold my breath....

So as I say Bear, potential employers do not give a flying fiddlers about the failed candidates feelings and don't care what you think of them after it or what ye say about them. They'll have hundreds more candidates only too willing to put up with the kind of 5h1t3 they get away with.
