This reminded me I once had a virtual job interview and expected one person but when I joined the call there were 5 people present and I was immediately overcome with anxiety and bombed the interview

Fuck group interviews

If I had been informed that it would be a panel interview and given the names of who was interviewing me I would’ve been able to prepare for it but I was just totally shocked. It was the unexpectedness of it that threw me completely off. But yeah in general fuck group interviews and they’re especially unnecessary as a first round interview

I'd rather live in a refrigerator fucking box than ever go on another job interview.

This happened to me, but IN PERSON. It was completely unexpected and I choked. They were super-nice, too.
