The Best Interview

It was a very busy day for me. Couple of meetings and then interviews lined up. It was very usual that the reception person calls me when the candidate is in. I first talk to the candidate casually to put them into a comfort zone. I followed my practice, but I felt the candidate was reluctant about talking to me. I did not worry much and straight away jumped into the questions I had. It was the shortest interview and this is how the interview took place.

Me: Where do you work?
Candidate: .... Company

Me: Could you please brief me with your nature of work?
Candidate: I .........contracts. (she used only 3 words between I and contracts)

I began to sense, probably the candidate is not interested in this position.

Me: Why do you want to join our organization?
Candidate: I do not want to join yeah, you called me for the interview and I came.

Me: Oh sorry. Thank you for taking time to come here.

I escorted the candidate to the door. At that moment, I felt she was totally unprofessional and a bit rude too. Somehow this interview had left some mark in mind and I was constantly thinking about it for quite few days. Now, if I sit back and think I feel she was frank and it was not being unprofessional. But the big question I have is "why didn't she tell the HR she is not interested. Why did she waste her precious time attending the interview which she was not interested".

Do people fall into obligations?
