[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I completely disagree with PP. You should ask to speak to Asian American woman directly. It sounds like she is upset not only with the incorrect statement but how she feels she was treated during the interview. It can be exhausting for soft spoken women of any race that have to compete for space with their louder male colleagues and in this day and age, sophisticated professionals should be able to see that and mitigate it where necessary. That means speaking to the woman as much as speaking to the man regardless of how loud the man is. You need to apologize for that part at least and do better next time. [/quote]

I would say in the scenario you describe the male over-talker needs to apologize. The interviewer is not responsible for the behavior of the two people being interviewed. This is not a teacher in a classroom. Phone interviews suck for this very reason. In person, the interview can control with body language and eye contact. On the phone people just end up talking over each other, which is what happened.[/quote]
