The interview experience was not professional. The interviewer was distracted, frequently checking their phone, and interrupted me mid-answer to discuss irrelevant topics. Instead of asking behavioral questions related to the job, the interviewer focused solely on personality assessments. It seems crucial to project confidence during this interview, as a lack of it may be perceived negatively if you don't immediately engage the interviewer.
