Re: Bad Interview Moments
I'm gonna get judged for this, but it happened.
I was being interviewed on a CB with a fifth or sixth year associate. I can only describe him as a quiet, serious, conservative-looking white guy. He never smiled once. The interview seemed to be going fine, but over the course of our conversation he told me that he grew up, went to law school, and clerked all in the same far away city on the other side of the country. So I asked him why he moved.
He said his boyfriend switched jobs, and I couldn't stop myself from cracking a smile. He did not appreciate it. I swear it was an involuntary act. I'm pro-/lgbt/. I just didn't expect that response from him. I feel like he set me up.
Did not get the offer.

Re: Bad Interview Moments
How can you tell that the interviewer did not appreciate your smile? There's nothing unusual about smiling when someone is telling you about a personal story. What made you think that the interviewer had a problem with your reaction--did he say something to you about it during the interview?Anonymous User wrote:I'm gonna get judged for this, but it happened.

Re: Bad Interview Moments
Yeah, if you reacted to finding out that someone was LGBT in a way that would be off-putting to them, it was probably an inappropriate reaction to finding out. Given the fact that you feel like he "set you up" (aka his existence as a gay person is entirely designed to make you feel uncomfortable as a straight person) this isn't hard to believe, and you might not be quite as pro-LGBT as you think you are.rpupkin wrote:How can you tell that the interviewer did not appreciate your smile?

Re: Bad Interview Moments
I was waiting for my turn at an OCI screener interview, standing there in the hallway outside the door after knocking, and when it opened the student from before me came out and said I should just go in. I did, and the room was empty, and right then I hear the toilet flush, the bathroom door opens, and the partner walks out, talking on his phone, saying "well I was in an interview... Well did you call him back?.. If client f***ing calls, you f***ing call him back!" Or words to that effect, angry voice and swearing included. Then he just said "sorry," and we did the interview. I was too pumped on interview adrenaline to care at all about the behavior, but in retrospect it wasn't very classy.

I have my sweaters custom made to really fit. Luckily, our family estate produces enough wool for pretty much every wool-item I need. Sending help to go purchase some off-the-rack item of dubious origin at a 300% markup seems silly.

You're probably right. But I have a preconceived notion of gay men as easy-to-spot and feminine from television and personal experience. I thought this guy was straight, so when he suddenly said his boyfriend made him change cities, I reacted as if it was a joke, before I realized he was actually gay. I'm not justifying my behavior, but that's how I blew the interview. I blame the fact that I have friends who make immature gay jokes like "Ever go on Tinder? You can meet some really cute guys!"moonman157 wrote: Yeah, if you reacted to finding out that someone was LGBT in a way that would be off-putting to them, it was probably an inappropriate reaction to finding out.

Re: Bad Interview Moments
Just wanted to chime in that as a current student who knows the Dean referred to here, this is all silly. She's actually pretty damned cool, not at all uptight, and definitely not stuck in the clouds of her own privilege (we've had deans/deans of students like that; they're now gone). The above interview is totally the above applicant just being a bad interviewer, and sour grapesing all over this thread. Can confirm UofC undergrad = social skills deficit. It's just not the case at the law school; different world entirely. I hear it used to be -- but then we started interviewing.

Re: Bad Interview Moments
Had a screener with a firm that I conducted via video chat. I was doing fine, when all of a sudden, the connection went out on my laptop (I later realized it was because the guest network at the school was timed and I did not yet have access to the main network for the students). So I rushed and downloaded their video app on my cell phone and reconnected, all of which took 10 minutes. They were just about to leave - I apologized profusely through a tense smile, and they calmly conducted the rest of the screener. Not only was I invited for a callback, but also got an offer.
