I interviewed for a low level IT position that I was mostly qualified for on paper but would have been able to handle in practice no problem. Well I got to the place and they were like ‘we were expecting you tomorrow’ even though I was there on the right day (had confirmed like 3 times) and the person I was supposed to interview with wasn’t there. So, they stuck me with two friendly, but ‘engineery’ south Asian gentleman in a huge conference room.

I am generally very good in interviews, I give good answers, quick witted, easy going, blah blah blah. The only problem was, both of the interviewers had HEAVY accents. Like, almost indecipherable. Ever single question they asked me had to be repeated like three times before I finally understood what they were asking me. They kept looking at each other like I was a complete idiot, even though I was able to answer 90% of their questions once I understood them. It was not a good look and I knew it. I thanked them for their time and left after about 15 minutes saying I didn’t think it was the right fit.
