How would you handle if you had a job interview with a CEO and that CEO laughed at the jobs you did?

I had a job interview yesterday with a CEO of a local furniture making company where I'm from in the U.S.

She was the one who contacted me off a job seeking website.

The position was to be a shipping coordinator.

She went on the website I applied on and went over my resume for a first or second time.

She laughingly said, "It seems like you worked everywhere."

At the end of the interview she told me, "You either want the job or you don't. There is no fluff with me. I'm not a corporation. I am just me. If you want the job talk to Charlie."

In my head I was saying to myself, "She didn't even introduce me to a Charlie and she's the CEO of her job."

I remained calm but I knew I was dead in the water after that.
