In this brief anecdotal video, the speaker recounts a chaotic group Zoom interview for a billing manager role. One candidate, a sheriff who was on a work phone under her desk, unmuted herself during the interview and allowed her boss to join the call. A heated argument erupted, and the sheriff dramatically produced a baton (her “stick”) and waved it at her boss, disrupting the session. The speaker, observing the incident, ultimately removed the disruptive participant from the interview. The story serves as a vivid illustration of poor virtual interview etiquette and the potential for unexpected, unprofessional behavior in remote hiring settings.

Chapters

First thing that I ever saw happen was a Zoom interview was that I was doing a group interview for a billing manager position. A woman came on and she had her phone like this. It was under her desk. She was a sheriff. During the call, I said, hey, you know, if you're at work right now, which she was, you can come to the next interview, even though I wouldn't hire her. Instead, she proceeded to tell me it was okay, unmuted herself. Her boss comes in, they start going at it. She gets up, she takes out like her stick, and she starts waving it at her boss. Everyone on the interview is watching. Needless to say, it kind of disrupted the interview and I ended up kicking her off. But that was the worst thing I ever saw in a Zoom interview.
