If your network is bad, don't take it out on candidates.

Rant time.

​

Had a weird experience with an HR today.

I received a call regarding a job opportunity, but there seemed to be network issues from the beginning. I genuinely couldn't hear many of the questions clearly, so I had to ask him to repeat himself several times. I even mentioned that the connection wasn't clear, but the conversation became increasingly frustrating. What bothered me wasn't the technical issue—it was the attitude. Whenever I asked a question or needed clarification, especially when he asked if I had any questions, the HR responded in a very loud and rude tone. It felt less like a professional conversation and more like I was being criticized for trying to understand what was being said.My perspective is simple: while searching for jobs and having time at home, I've been actively learning new skills to improve myself and increase my opportunities. Learning shouldn't be seen as a negative thing.

The funniest part? I asked for the company name, and because of the network issues and how the conversation was going, I still couldn't hear it properly.

Before anyone says "all HRs are like this"—no, they're not. I've spoken to some genuinely kind, patient, and professional HRs. That's why this experience stood out so much.

If you're recruiting people, at least have the patience to communicate with them properly. Not every "Can you repeat that?" is a sign that the candidate isn't paying attention. Sometimes the network just sucks.

End of rant.
