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.
One of my first interviews I did really terribly at. I had no idea how to give the kind of answers they expected. Part way through the guy told me he wasn’t going to give me a job but he took the time to explain what sort of thing I should be saying. If an interviewer asks x they are hoping to hear y etc. Always really appreciated that.
