[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My worst isn't so bad, really, but it was a pain.  federal job interview, and within minutes is became clear I was part of the panel of candidates they had to interview, but someone else (probably someone internal, though I can't remember how that was apparent) was going to get the job and this was just a charade.  To their credit, they asked me all the questions and one of them nodded every once in a while, but it was just so clear this was mostly a waste of my time and their time.

I suppose every interview is good experience, but this one just felt like a waste of time.  [/quote]

Oh and I've had this experience too. HUGE waste of time. Interviewers were completely un-interested.[/quote]

I used to be on the hiring committee at my old job. My boss would make snap decisions about candidates within five minutes. If he didn't like someone he completely disengaged as was visibly obvious by his body language. I always felt badly for those candidates (who were often really good) and tried to go the extra mile to demonstrate interest to make up for his rudeness, even though I knew he would never hire them.[/quote]
