Zero preparation
I walked out of an interview with the Department for International Development.
It was so insultingly obvious that none of the three people conducting the interview had read my CV, or knew anything about the 20 years of experience that I had in my field, that I – politely, I hope – called a halt to a question after 20 minutes or so.
I apologized for leaving early, but said that I felt it was very clear that they hadn’t prepared for the meeting.
They looked a little taken aback. I gave them a couple of seconds to say something. None of them did. I left. That’s it. It was a mid-senior role in a comms/marketing capacity.
