Dear ABC Corp Manager,

I am Abi who has applied for the Product Manager position at ABC Corp last month. I was hesitating to report the experience that I had during the interview but finally I have courage to express myself so that I can help the futures candidates to have better experience with your company. Mr Jacob interviewed me on 14 JULY 2022, He asked me things beyond the scope of the role and that's ok but he didn't ask me anything related to the job position role that I have applied at your company. When I ask question him about it then he reacted very badly with me and said that he is the interviewer and it's up to him what he should ask to the candidate. It was really unprofessional behavior as I also have 20 years of industry experience also I have interviewed hundreds of candidates but I have never behaved that rude with anyone. You might be wondering what went wrong during the interview, Please have a look at the points mentioned below

1. He shouted on me as I questioned him
2. He didn't allow me to share my opinion on interview process

Here is my suggestion to improve the interview process
1. Please set the guidelines for interviewer that he must ask questions based on the role that candidate have applied at the company, definitely he can ask the question beyond the scope of interview but he/she must make sure that interview question based on the role has been covered.
2. The interview should also give a chance to candidate to express his point of view and respond to him respectfully for any feedback
