“I Told Him To Shut Up” — Guy Spectacularly Blows Interview For Job He Was Guaranteed To Get
Sometimes, the most promising resumes come with a few red flags you can’t see on paper.
That’s what one hiring manager learned during a second-round interview for a software engineering role that had all the makings of a game-changer.
The candidate looked great on paper, passed the initial rounds, and seemed like a solid fit.
But once the interview began, things took a turn—fast.
The guy came in serious, confident, and… completely uninterested in listening.
Instead of a two-way conversation, the interview morphed into a one-man podcast episode with no pause button.
After multiple attempts to steer the conversation back on track, the interviewer had to decide whether to power through or shut it down.
What happened next left the entire room a little stunned—and might just serve as a wake-up call for anyone prepping for their next big opportunity.
