Got an interview invitation from HR.

Accepted it without looking at the interviewee's profile (rookie mistake).

Finally looked at his profile. He was 5 times, 5 times more experienced than me. Had a STRONG resume.

Was under pressure a lot of pressure. I realized I was not at all suitable for being this guys interviewer.

Just one good thing. It was his first round and was going to be a telephonic round after which we were going to fly him down.

Clock ticked 6. Time for interview. More nervousness.

Called him. Guy picked up. Introduced myself. In a calm voice he says, he is busy with a very critical bug. Can we reschedule?

Now this will generally piss me off. But this time I was relieved 😅

    That phone call would have turned into him interviewing you, followed by him thanking you for your interest but he's moved on to other candidates. 😃🔫

    Why does it matter?

    If he passes the technical requirements, move on to other areas.

    @aaijmrt Yeah, I was just kidding. And just like @Root said, after a few minutes it would obvious that he has the tech skills, so you can spend more time on other matters like does he pass the No Asshole Rule? lol...

    It's usually helpful to employ people that are better than you in what they're doing. If there is a proper athmospere of trust in the workplace this tends to really get the company forward. So there is nothing wrong with it.

    @pacohojaverde @Root @Lobidu there is absolutely nothing wrong in me taking his interview. Its just that I was a little overwhelmed and thus the rant 😅
