[交流] Sucked at Interview

This week I received an invitation for an online interview from an Austrian university and I was so looking forward to speaking to the prof. The interview was held at midnight yesterday, I was surprised to see four people sitting in front of the camera. It wasn't my first time to be interviewed by a group of people but it was indeed the worst one. Most of the questions raised were about my master thesis which is my biggest drawback. I felt like they were so unsatisfied with my background and so became more and more nervous when seeing their reactions to my answers. They asked, for example, what's wrong with your thesis, what kinds of methodologies you adopted, why you didn't use more advanced statistical methods, didn't you have a supervisor who can help you check the direction of your thesis, were data and experiment collected and conducted by you, how you explain that your profile isn't that good?

I understand sometimes interviewers prefer to examine candidates by pushing and criticising them, however, questions they kept asking sound they found no interest in my other experience and my research proposal. At last, of course, they didn't ask me about my mobility since obviously, they won't consider me. Writing this post isn't meant to blame on them, I am just curious about the motivation of them to carry out this interview concerning they look caring so much about the quality of my thesis but also have already learnt that it was a bad job from my transcript. I wonder if they think this is acceptable, why they just looked at my past work instead of discussing more current issues like the proposal and other relevant aspects such as the data project I joined last year to get a more comprehensive understanding about me. Conversely, if they think this is too bad to accept, why they should waste their time talking to me for over thirty minutes? I am so confused. Does anyone have the same experience with me?

经历非常相似,但是是一个人面的。不断施压,口语压制,思维压制,喘不过气。
这种面试,我觉得还是要逢场作戏,咱就当时表演,你怎么施压怎么不好,面完咱们都互相没有关系。

Hug first. What they really pushed me down isn't the questions they ask but the reactions they made to my answers. Their reactions look very skeptical about everything I said. Sometimes they even slightly laughed conveying a subtle feeling like contempt (but maybe I misunderstood or over-interpreted), but overall they didn't give any positive response.

因为欧洲的博士录取,导师最看重的是你研究背景和未来博士课题的匹配度,master thesis是个微缩版
