I applied online, and the HR/Recruiter was prompt in contacting me. A phone interview was lined up, all done via email. I received the call from the interviewer. He had a thick accent, which I can deal with in normal circumstances. However, he was on speakerphone in his cubicle. He was rustling papers and typing right next to the phone, and there were bursts of conversation in the background.

Most of the interview consisted of me asking him to repeat himself and trying to paraphrase what he had just said. He rambled all over the place. I'm a little hard of hearing and was instructed by various friends in the recruiting/hiring realm never to mention any kind of disability. So, I didn't feel I was in a position to tell him that or instruct him to find a conference room and a landline and try again.

I still haven't decided if I am going to email the recruiter about this.

I have not heard back, so I assume the process is not going any further. I wish companies would actually contact candidates and let them know the outcome of the phone screen.

The only question I can remember is me asking, "Can you repeat that?"
