Taking Calls In an Interview
management, software development
“Heh, can I just take this call I’ll be right back.”
I never got a chance to answer he just took the other call. Waiting patiently for about three minutes thinking should I just end the telephone screen now or be polite. I can overhear him talking to someone saying, “No big deal I’m just doing a phone interview. Yeah we can order some pizza later.” He apparently was talking on his cell and leaving me on pause on the land line.
“OK, sorry about that, I just needed to answer the call.”

My incredulous meter just went through the roof!
I’ve been away from your blog for about 6 months (snowed under with other things). Nice to be back.
Um, yeah it does make the hire, no hire decision pretty easy for you.
Some of the interview behavior you experience boggles the mind.
