He doesn’t know that I have to pass the round to get additional interviews so he said “you don’t have any more interviews?” I said no it’s my first one. Then he said “oh.. maybe you’ll get more.” I’m certain he doesn’t know the interview process. He has no idea I just bombed it lol and it’s the bar breaker.
At the end he said thank you for your time, but I told him no thank you for your time. And I’m sorry about that (as in the horrible interview)!!! And he said it’s okay.
Seriously so embarrassing.
