feel at the mercy of an interviewer 感觉被面试官随意摆布

While a candidate might feel at the mercy of an interviewer, they are able to question why they’re being asked something,and while the interviewer might be making judgements, the candidate can also make their own judgement and decide if this is really the career move they want to make!当一个面试者感觉被面试官随意摆布时,他们也可反问为什么他们被如此要求,虽然面试官可能会作出相关评判,但面试者本人也可以做出自己的判断和决定，这是否是他们真正想要的职业选择!
