nothing really...

What are your general comments?

The guy just asked me questions, had no responsiveness in his face and wrote down my answers on a piece of paper. He kept asking me over and over why I would leave my current state and live in philly. He wouldn't accept my answer. The worst part was that it didn't feel like a stress interview, it just felt like a bad interview...
