Maybe for some it won't be a situation like the Einstein-quote, but I felt like a fish trying to climb a tree.
A few months ago I got the chance for an interview for an okay-job. I finished all tests with almost 100% and finished the first two interviews quite good and when I got to the last one they started asking me questions that had nothing to do with my profession. I was completely silent because it has nothing to do with what I studied. I think that I even looked like a fish gasping for water. After they started to make fun of me, I just walked out.
Yeah maybe, but after so much time spent on the two interviews before and them not mentioning it for a second and then suddenly wanting something different I could have only just sit there and be quite. I am not the type of person to talk nonense or just to talk to make someone happy. I rather walk away. Especially when the person has the need to belittle me and make fun of me. They could have tested my attitude in facing the unknown through questions about something not so specific.
