Saw this post on R/Jobs and thought it was interesting. If you were in a similar situation or had a job interview and the interviewer started acting like this, would you have left as well? Or would you have still went through the interview and do your best to try to get this job? Basically, how would you have handled this?

So I applied for this social media/video editing job yesterday. I have some relevant background and skills (ex: internships + owning a YouTube channel with a decent amount of subscribers), and the job seems like a great fit for me. The recruiter emailed me back right away an hour after I applied, asking me to chat the following morning.
The interview was online. We said hello and asked each other how our mornings were. Then he started talking about how my resume looks good, but then the first question he asked me was, "So let me you ask you first of all. Are you just scrolling on LinkedIn and hitting the apply button? Or like what do you like about our company?"

Seems like very random first question to ask, but okay. I proceeded to answer his question, but he interrupted me "Okay, Jaline. Stop. Let's try this, I think you're being stiff right now." then "I've seen your YouTube channel and you seem like you have a great personality, but you're not showing that right now. Let's try this again, tell me about yourself."

Right after that, I had to end the interview right away with no hesitation. I'm sitting here crying because I'm so fed up and frustrated that I have been trying to find a job since I graduated from university in May, but so far I have had no luck. When I came upon this job opportunity, I was really happy about it because I seemed pretty qualified for it. I feel like I'm being too sensitive, but I don't think this is the type of work environment I would be working in.

I can definitely sympathize. Trying to find work after college can be very demoralizing and difficult
