Humiliating Interview or one-sided story?
Discussion
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-4...
It would be good to see the other side of the story.
Who has time to look up someone's Spotify account? Let alone bring it up in an interview.
I'd like to know what personal questions were asked too.
If someone was being an arse in an interview, regardless of who they were, I'd politely tell the interview was over and I'd leave. Certainly would not sit there and take a barrage of abuse and personal attacks.
But then again I wouldn't feel the need to post it on social media. Just move on. Plenty of fish in the sea.

If she's right though, and others have said similar, don't you think he is a f
king arse? I've met people like him and it's hard to understand what they want from their employees because nothing is good enough.
It's easy for a bloke being interviewed to sack off the interview if it isn't going well, but not so easy for women.

Classic snowflakeness. If the guy is being an arse then tell him to do one and leave. Being a woman shouldn't make any difference unless we have to treat men and women in the workplace differently now. A crap interviewer is a crap interviewer, it doesn't matter what sex you are, if you can't handle idiots it then you can't handle a job/the world.
How does this crap end up on a national tax payer funded website? That's the real issue here.!!

Try an interview at a boutique investment house / fund.
This... She was lucky it was only a web company... If she wants a proper grilling I can highly recommend hedge funds... the interviewer rarely wants to be there or sees it as a challenge to see how much you can be pushed.
No doubt she would have gone for a discrimination charge if she went there stating they should be easier on women.

But that means she couldn't make a cry-baby post about it for the news!!!!!!!How does this crap end up on a national tax payer funded website? That's the real issue here.!!
It ends up on a national tax payer website because the BBC are utterly obsessed with equality to the point of ludicrousness.
Their sports bulletins on radio ignore other sports to give us detail about womens rugby or football for balance..
They gave Bowie the icon award for his sector because of what he did for people with overtly non typical sexuality, when there were other candidates did far more for certain things over numerous sectors.
It is the BBC, and their mod's operandi is this, basically because they overpay all their top level male presenters. I mean Nicky Campbell gets paid 400k for Gods sake, that is a crime against humanity right there, so they have to big up women somehow after all the fallout over wages.

Whys that then?I think, in general, far too many interviewers think it's a one way street; it's the potential employees job to impress them. They don't seem to realise that if the interviewee is excellent, they will probably have other interviews and might be offered several jobs, and therefore you need to impress them so that they agree to join.
I've been to a few awful interviews, and on one occasion, having been offered the job, I replied to tell them that they had been unsuccessful and I was joining another firm. But I did wish them the best of luck in finding a suitable employee in the future.

It is quite easy for any candidate to end an interview at any time . . .
"Can we stop here please, I no longer wish to be considered for the role and see no point continuing"
Sex is immaterial, whether you are too scared to do it is another thing.
It is immaterial, so I don't know why it is the main point of the discussion here."Can we stop here please, I no longer wish to be considered for the role and see no point continuing"

The point should be whether or not interviewers should seek to belittle and humiliate candidates of any gender applying to work for them. It's all very well the securely employed PHers saying "just walk out" but it's not that easy a decision to take if you need the job.

Or the point you've decided your no longer interested in the job , that's when you can have fun with the interviewer ."Can we stop here please, I no longer wish to be considered for the role and see no point continuing"

You mean, "SOME women aren't as confident or aggressive as SOME men" - which is another way of saying "everyone is different".Implying women mostly are sensitive souls is what got Tim Hunt into hot water (ironically, hes a scientist, though not a rocket scientist) when he said "when you criticise [women] they cry" of his female staff.
All the feminists and SJWs jumped on that, to point out women can be just as emotionally strong as men - so if we agree with that (which we do, or our feminist overlords will castrate us) then we should agree that a woman should feel no more intimidated than a man in ending an interview.
Basically, you cant have it both ways - say one minute that women are all strong and powerful and "you-go-girl!!!", and the next that women are delicate flowers that need to be asked nice questions in interviews.
For what its worth, the interviewer sounded like an arse, but as long as his style is the same for male/female/other applicants, then its not a SJW issue.

All men? Plenty I know are not confident or aggressive. Hell, I know a couple that might even cry after an interview went badly.Would you not agree?
