I’ve had to conduct interviews sometimes during various jobs. While I hope this is a troll, I’ve definitely come across folks (okay, men) who weren’t able to hide that they think the whole interview process is beneath them, none of the hiring staff are on their level, and we don’t deserve to be doing anything but getting them a coffee or unzipping their pants. They try to hide it a little, but it’s so intensely within them that they keep inadvertently showing glimpses of their resentment.

(Thankfully now I only ever interview students, and they’re lovely to interview because they’re hopeful, enthusiastic, and excited. Often scared too by the interview process, but it’s usually not hard to calm them.)
