Nothing at all - however as you alluded to the guy did not know what he was actually trying to achieve with an interview.
Some people think being an interviewer is about catching someone out on obscure sh1t.
Makes them feel them feel powerful - has no benefit to the interview process.
I don't want to fuel the suity/victim fire but this has a ring of truth in it, indicating that contrary to the OP's beliefs that he is the only 'victim', this is just life.
There are only 3 questions that need satisfying; is the applicant competent, reliable and do they fit in? The old adage IMO is still sort of true, they know if they want you within the first 5 minutes but I think it is better to say they know if they don't want you in the first 5 minutes, so it would be better if they were honest at that point and said 'Next!'.
No, you need to grow a personality and drop the habitual, incessant lying.
Take this current tale of woe, the second in this thread is no more realistic or believable than the first, the faked paranoia is ludicrous.
It's quite clear that you think it's "fun" to make up these absurd situations to spark posts and attract enough responses pointing out just how much of a pointless twat you are that you can write yet another of your "flounce for good" posts. At which point you hide behind a few sockies until people post wondering where you are. It's a tedious cycle and very predictable.
ClientCo appear to have adopted this interview technique for their permie roles, where they do exactly this - walk through the CV in great detail from education onwards. Interviews take 2-3 hours.
Part of the plan to only recruit A-players apparently.

I do think there is a part of the interview process where the interviewer is supposed to sell it a bit. Both the company and the project.
This just bringing someone in to check their fillings is actually just supremely arrogant.
