Throughout the interview, the interviewer focused on irrelevant low-level questions that had little connection to the actual responsibilities listed in the job description. It felt less like a technical discussion and more like an attempt to trip up the candidate. The lack of alignment between the interviewer’s questions and the position’s scope made the process frustrating and unproductive. The one meaningful question came only at the end, leaving no time for a proper response. Overall, the experience left the impression that the interviewer either misunderstood the intent of the role or deliberately narrowed the focus to fail strong candidates possibly out of job insecurity.
