"The first guy was rather rude and checked his phone throughout the entire interview. He introduced himself, said it wasn't actually a doctor and then said: "now you have the floor". He then interrupted to ask questions about things that I had said. Nothing specific about the school, just clarifying questions about things I said. I think he was trying to be rude to see if he could get a response out of me. IF this happens to you, just know what it is you want to say and say it."
