Selective Perception

Explanation:

Selective perception occurs when an individual aims to  only perceive what he/she wants to or feel its right by selecting and  categorizing stimuli according his or her preferences  and therefore  ignoring  any other other perceptions or views.

Here, the interviewer  focused her attention and belief on her expectations of a female job applicant regardless of what the applicant feels or believes in   which shows an example of a SELECTIVE PERCEPTION.
