I recently had the opportunity to participate in a process with UST, and while there were positive aspects, I'd like to share some observations that I think are important. From the beginning, the interview was conducted virtually, and the interviewer asked me to turn on my camera, but he didn't turn on his, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. Situations like this can hinder the connection during an interview, as non-verbal communication plays a key role.
During the interview, I was asked questions about my work experience, to which I responded with relevant details. However, when I elaborated on my answer, the interviewer interrupted me and said, "I didn't ask you that," which made me feel more uncomfortable and somewhat confused about the direction of the interview.
I think interviewers should be more empathetic and remember that just as they are evaluating us, we are also evaluating the company, its culture, and its environment. It's important to create an atmosphere of mutual respect so that the interview is productive for both parties.
In addition, I think it would be valuable for the company to invest in training its technical interviewers, as they are the first point of contact with candidates and represent the face of the organization. Better preparation in interviewing techniques and interpersonal skills could improve the experience for both the candidate and the company.
