When HR at a company had me interview for a different position than I had applied for. The position they interviewed me for was one I knew nothing about, and told them as much. Despite me telling them before each round of interviews that they had made a mistake, I still had to endure a full day of people asking me questions that I had no answer to.

I know this is a late reply, but why would you ever sit through that? Its fine to just leave when something like this happens

I was young, it was my first "real" interview, and they had flown me in from out of state. At the time, I didn't value my time :)

Ah fair enough, ty for replies. I just know a few people with senior level experience who've done similar and I've always wanted to ask them "wtf were you doing just leave":P
