I've had my fair share ...That's just awful. I've had my fair share of bad interviews, and I've had one that was similar to yours. The guy was making all kinds of wonderful assumptions about me without even letting me talk. My favorite was, "Oh, I see we're 15 minutes away from you. That's a really far drive. You'd probably get tired of it after a while and stop coming in. I don't know if this job is for you."<br /><br />Aside from the fact that every job I've ever had was at least 20-30 minutes away from me, it was amazing to see someone mentally hire me, start me, watch me come in, and just decide I didn't want to come in anymore. Like he was just mentally living my life for me.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795012833336216960.post-63459745545678365382014-04-20T00:13:40.282-07:002014-04-20T00:13:40.282-07:00Hahaha what!?

And from the sound of the, uh, person who interviewed you, you're well shot of that company.
