Completely forgot about the worst interview of my life

Had an opportunity to apply at Güber (name changed to protect the ignorant) for an Operations Supervisor role in one of their departments. Not only was I overdressed (they made sure to tell me), but the recruiter failed to mention it was a panel interview. In walk 6 members of the leadership team with their personalized MacBooks and they start interrogating me on the usual behavioral questions that make me want to beat my face against a wall. I was then tasked to create a business plan including KPIs for a mock product. It was called Güber Kittens and it involved bringing kittens to office settings for those employees to take a break and enjoy their day. I was given ten minutes. I swear to you I’ve never bombed anything so much in my life. I thought I would be creative since there was so little information to go off…

I was then tasked to create a business plan including KPIs for a mock product. It was called Güber Kittens and it involved bringing kittens to office settings for those employees to take a break and enjoy their day. I was given ten minutes. I swear to you I’ve never bombed anything so much in my life. I thought I would be creative since there was so little information to go off of. It was made apparent that I missed the mark. I actually felt so inadequate from that interaction that I had to take a break from interviewing for a month.

Moral of the story is that these large corporations have their heads so far up their own asses that they can get away with doing dumb shit like this. I actually refuse to entertain those types of interviews anymore and I’ve actually stopped the interview and walked out if they start veering off into that direction.

I guess I don’t feel all that bad that they are struggling and can’t turn a profit.
