[quote=Anonymous]OP I have no advice other than I would assume you won't get an offer and to not apologize (because you probably won't get an offer). Move onward and upward.

Quite frankly, I would not want to work for this person anyway. I know you said it's a great next step, but anyone willing to speak that rudely to a candidate...imagine how they would speak to you when you are actually an employer. Beating a dead horse repeatedly after someone says they were laid off and telling them you don't trust them is an a-hole move. Fwiw, I have actually been fired - not laid off, literally fired - and people did not speak to me the way you described this CEO speaking to you when I was interviewing. I would just give a vague answer when they asked why I wasn't working, I think I said that I was hired to build a certain program and we just realized it wasn't a good fit (which wasn't a lie, they did discontinue the program after firing me) blah blah blah. No one pushed further.

I personally would've just asked you what happened and if I doubted the veracity of your story I would've asked for your former supervisor's name and contact info for a reference check.

Lastly, I just wanted to say don't beat yourself up over an emotional response to a stressful situation.[/quote]
