Interviews are naturally awkward.

If you had that attitude during one of my interviews I'd show you the door.

I can't begin to count the number of impressive resumes that lead to unqualified candidates.

If you had that attitude during one of my interviews I'd show you the door.

And with that attitude on your side -- "if this isn't going well, then by definition, it's the candidate's fault" --- let's just say we're clearly not match.

I can't begin to count the number of impressive resumes that lead to unqualified candidates.

Ditto for job ads leading to unimpressive companies with obtuse interview processes.

Interviews are naturally awkward.

As currently conceived. So maybe it's time to start thinking about them differently.

You're awfully full of criticism today. In your perfect world, what would the interview process be? How do I, the hiring manager, ensure you are what you claim to be, without wasting either of our time or hurting your feelings?
