It started with a panel interview. The first group panel asked thoughtful, challenging questions and was a positive group of people. That was a good experience, and it gave me a good impression of the organization. I was moved on to the next level, and to be honest, it was the first time ever in my life I was traumatized by an interview process. I broke down and cried afterwards. There was an upper level administrator who was abrasive and unkind. I was in such a bad space, I could not answer basic questions where I had a wealth of experience (and have given great responses in the past). Unfortunately, I freeze when verbally attacked. Not one person on the panel intervened, when it was obvious I was not okay. If someone had simply asked if I wanted to end the interview, I would have said, "yes." This organization preaches diversity, equity, and inclusion, yet that person did not know anything about me besides my appearance. She did not know who I was or what my life experience included, and how inequitable and cruel it was of her to treat me that way. Albeit, no one deserves to be treated like that. I am a hard-working, dedicated, and experienced employee with rave reviews from past employers, co-workers and students. Not sure what this person was trying to accomplish with her demeaning interview style, but she sure doesn't bring out the best in people. I am guessing no one else on the panel said anything because they were afraid of her. I hope she finds some happiness in her life and is kinder to herself and others in the future.
