Companies should really adopt shadow interviewing more. Go into an interview and watch someone experienced do it, so you can learn more about how to make interviews pleasant (even for a candidate that doesn't know what they're doing).
I’ve concluded 1:1 in person interviews are insta-fails. With out any witnesses, the bozo interviewing you will just do, say whatever. I’ve had a handful of experiences like the GP and there’s no recourse.
