ApplicationPanel interview

A candidate with seven years of higher education and two master's degrees interviewed for a museum researcher role. During the panel interview, one interviewer said "Well, I am an art historian — I'll see based on your answers if you are one," and the panel laughed openly during the candidate's responses. The candidate described leaving the interview "completely broken" and "feeling worthless." The post drew widespread condemnation of credential gatekeeping.
