Q. During my job interview, the hiring manager talked the entire time and I could not get in a word. I was then dinged for a lame reason. How do I avoid this if it happens again?

A. Ahh, the ‘ol Hijacked Interview. Just to put your mind at ease (or maybe not), this interview dynamic happens more often than you think. And it’s one of the most confusing and frustrating situations a candidate can experience. Candidates don’t give it much thought when it happens as long as they move on to the next round. But if you are rejected after this experience, you feel like you have just been sucker-punched.
