Or like what do you like about our company?'” wrote the Redditor in the post.

I proceeded to answer his question, but he interrupted me, ‘Okay, Jaline. Stop. Let’s try this, I think you’re being stiff right now.’ Then ‘I’ve seen your YouTube channel, and you seem like you have a great personality, but you’re not showing that right now. Let’s try this again, tell me about yourself.” Right after this, ‘thepokebowlismine’ decided to end the interview.

Not a very good way to hold any professionally-oriented meeting.” (Also Read: Job applicant receives Amazon gift card with rejection letter, Reddit reacts) “Just a part-time cleaning place for a job I didn’t even need and the prick owner kept calling me unprofessional and quizzing me with stupid scenarios. I just looked at him and said ‘I’m going to cut this short because there is no way I’d ever consider working here,'” posted a third. A fourth said, “Good for you. It was likely to see how you respond to negative feedback. However, it is a glimpse into how this company operates. Guaranteed if you completed the interview, got the job, you would be looking or quitting very soon.” “Exciting news!
