‘She called me ‘titleless»: Recruiter gushes over applicant for 1st half of job interview, bashes her experience for the 2nd half
It’s not common for a job interviewer to tell you exactly what they think of you during the interview. You’re often left guessing whether they like you or not purely on vibes. In my experience, the vibes of the interviewer are a much more perceptive way to tell if you’re going to get the job …
