It is only an assumption, a big fuckin big one, to say that specific question held so much weight. You say the guy did good, but who knows if the higher-ups were happy or not? What if they just did not like the guy, he was not seen as a "good guy"? Maybe there is a better, more skilled and motivated person taking your friends place? Is it possible your friend uses this ONE QUESTION as an excuse because he was not selected? Too many unknowns man, shit is complicated at times and the desire to get an answer can lead you further from the truth. |
I don't know how many 'reviews' result in a termination, directly after a question in which the interviewer didn't like or took personal offence to. Plus, he is a student, and this was meant to be a year-long placement in industry. Now, if he was going to get terminated, one would believe they'd be more upfront with him and not after asking him a bunch of questions with a seemingly positive outlook. I know my friend, he doesn't lie to me, and as far as I know (considering my friend is actually reading this and allowed me to post) it is his accounts of the day. It was a standard job review, a review for a job he was doing quite well at. This was the last question, and how many meetings would end on that question abruptly, it was clearly not over, and the guy left because he obviously didn't like the answer. His choice, but he can't expect a good answer to such a dare-i-say shit question.
