A bad interview experience 🤕

Today, I had an interview for a job as a software developer. The person interviewing me started by asking if I could speak Hindi. I told him I could understand it but wasn't good at talking because I'm from South India. He gave me a mean smile, which made me feel really unsure of myself right away. 😔 We went on with the interview. He asked a question that was kind of a design question, and when I tried to answer, he didn't really listen. Even when I asked him some questions, he didn't give a good answer. He was busy with his phone, and it seemed like he wanted to say no to me. I'm feeling pretty down about it. 😞 I don't get why he acted like that, but now I feel dumb after doing the interview.

always remember - all interviews are bidirectional even though the employer side likes to pretend it isn't. you didn't fail the interview. they did.

Don't feel dumb :) There are plenty of companies, keep applying and ignore mean people 🤞

Probably good it didn't go Well. You don't want to be working with people like that anyway. Interviews don't just help orgs figure out if they want you, you also get to decide if this seems like a good place to be and if the people seem nice.
Keep at it. Good things take time
