Interviewer cried during interview

[NurseLoveJoy88]

Today I went on an interview and the lady that interviewed starting crying while talking about her clients. I was very moved by her emotions and glad that she truly cares about these clients. I was just a little shocked, and didn't really know what to say. Anyone else cry or either had the interviewer cry during an interview?

I think something happened that day to really upset her, but she couldn't get out of doing the interview. When she couldn't control her crying in the interview, she tried to make it relevant to the situation.

I once had a fight with my boyfriend on the way to pick up my dogs at the vet. I was crying when I got there, so I pretended I was overcome by seeing my dogs.

Normally an interview situation should be professional and formal. Yes. There are always exceptions. Perhaps something terrible had happened to one of her patients? Perhaps she was recalling a relationship she had with a patient who didnt make it? Personally I would love to work for someone so in touch with their emotions. Makes them real and approachable. As far as the question have you ever cried during an interview? Well, slightly guilty. After 100's of interviews, even being called back for 2nd and 3rd interviews and still job searching, I guess I was becoming unglued. A lovely HR lady was interviewing me. She asked me the Golden "Tell me about yourself " question. I did. "Im a mom, a nurse, an excellent nurse. Ive been a nurse for 25 years. I became a nurse because Im a natural caretaker. If you ask anyone who ever hired me they would hire me again in a second. Im most importantly a mother to 2 boys. I need a job. I want to work. I dont know what else to say any more, what hoops I need to jump thru." At this point I had tears in my eyes. Yes, I did. I instantly regretted what had happened. Well, she said I had a very impressive Resume, (they all say that), she was very impressed with me, and would help me! Well, to make a long story short, 3 interviews followed this (3 different jobs) at this organization. I was hired for a position that is perfect for me! I will start in January.

My current DCS likes to cry in about every meeting, interview, and disciplinary action. She is tough as nails but cries about the patients and staffing issues.A well timed tear can be an appropriate and effect communication tool but constant tears, disingenuous appearing tears, can sometimes come off as silly and unprofessional.

you never know what's going on in someone else's life. maybe her favorite patient just died; maybe her mother. it's not professional to cry during an interview, but sometimes it happens.
