    He may have had good reason for yawning.

      If you are going to report him, do so AFTER it's been confirmed to you that you haven't got the job.


      But, since it was a phone interview, are you certain he yawned? You didn't see him, so how can you be sure? He might have breathing difficulties, there might have been someone else in the room with him.
      Unless he said "Sorry I yawned there", then don't immediately assume the sound was a yawn.

        Good point, I didnt see it from the permie perspective. I just know when I interview people that have taken the time out to be available I would think it incredibly impolite to yawn. I would have apologized and given a reason.

        But I see it from the permie perspective now.

          Might have been the sound of static on the line making a noise that sounded uncannily like 'Yaawwwwnn' and 'STFU you boring little tit' and 'Stop whining in General'

          Plausible...

            Correct. If he's got bad asthma or similar, you've just blown your job chances.

              Almost sounds like he's a victim looking for a crime.


              Interview went badly - lets blame the interviewer and see how much sympathy I can get. Maybe even a lawyer will take my case. Can I sue for yawning? I reckon 6 weeks salary would be enough to make up for the emotional distress...

                If he has bad asthma at least he will struggle to kick the tulip out of the OP when he gets fired for breathing heavily.

                  Or he has been up all night at his dying relatives bedside.

                  Try an interview with an Indian outsourcer if you want rude and clueless.

                    Perhaps the interviewer called him Darth by mistake and it all went pear-shaped from there?
