A process in which arrogant recruiters deny themselves the benefits of many talented, capable, candidates due to an unfair screening process that in absolutely no way reflects the everyday job situation or assesses the skills required to succeed.
A talented person who had produced major growth in his previous company and had 5 years of experience in C# got a rejection after a job interview in which the recruiter said he was not skilled enough to do the job. This was because they asked questions on language concepts that are rarely used in C# and gave a brainteaser algorithm to code up in a 15 minute time limit without a compiler or computer.

Conversation style where one person speaks by phrasing a questing in a simple yes/no format, and answering their own question with rapid-fire response. This style is made popular by professional and collegiate coaches during press conferences, and has surfaced in the corporate world. In the latter scenario, this conversation method is employed by people of lower IQ who lack confidence in their ability. True masters of this method will deploy their own third-person reference.
Suzy: Do these pants make me look fat? No. Did I spend too much? To be truthful, yes. Will I score tonight? Definitely.
Tiffanie: Does Tiffanie care about Suzy's self-interview? No. Does Tiffanie wish Suzy would STFU? Yes.

Like a regular job interview, but conducted over the phone. Usually used by big companies such as Google to weed out first, second, and sometimes third round applicants before an actual onsite interview. Typically conducted on the toilet, on the floor, or at a small, lonely desk with a little lamp, and with much apprehension. Given the lack of visual feedback between applicant and interviewer, phone interviews typically lead to many awkward pauses, interruptions, and unfinished sentences.
a typical phone interview:
*ring ring ring*
Hello?
Hello?
Hi!
This is ...
Hi!
Chad, from Goo...
Hi Chad!
...gle.
*ring ring ring*
Hello?
Hello?
Hi!
This is ...
Hi!
Chad, from Goo...
Hi Chad!
...gle.
