You click the link. The camera turns on. A voice says hello.
But nobody is there. It is just an AI interviewer.
Welcome! and Welcome to the most awkward half hour of your life.

🧱Talking to a Wall That Talks Back
The weirdest part is the silence. When you finish answering a question, there is no nod. No smile. No "tell me more about that." Just a pause, then the next question.

You start overthinking everything. Did I ramble? Was I making sense? Without human feedback, you feel like you are shouting into a void.

🙁It Messes With Your Head
I noticed myself changing how I spoke. With a real person, I tell stories. I joke around. I am myself.

With the AI, I caught myself listing facts like a resume. Speaking in neat little bullet points. I literally became a robot to talk to a robot. It was depressing.

🫡Sure, It Has Perks

• 🚫No judgment about your hoodie
• 🗓️No scheduling nightmares
• 🧠No bias

But you lose so much. You cannot ask real questions. You cannot read the company vibe. You walk away with zero clue if you did well.

⏰The Waiting Sucks
After a normal interview, you have a gut feeling. You connected, or you did not.

After an AI interview, you just wait. Did the algorithm like my keywords? Did I speak at the right pace? You are left guessing what a machine thought of you.

💡Be Human Anyway
If you have to do one of these, just be yourself. Tell your messy, human stories. Do not optimize for the algorithm. The companies worth joining will have real people review your actual answers, not just a computer score.

Have you done one of these yet? Did it feel as weird as I think it does? Let me know below.🤷🏻‍♂️
