Informal meeting with direct report followed by a formal interview with the district sales manager. I was recruited based on previous job experience for a more unique role. The excitement was mutual and both sides are confident after 6 months in the new role

I scheduled a virtual interview with a recruiter. However, she states that they're restrictedly ONLY hiring exactly from the job description says 3-5 retail management experience with the Branch Manager title, but she didn't want to waste my time, so she decided to offer me a banker position. I first appreciated her time, at the same time I also explained my experiences and achievement has definitely a matched for the job description, and I already been a banker for 5 years, and now 3 years + as Assistant Branch Manager as second to go person, I basically doing the same as BM, and assisted the branch archived goals exceeded the regional standard, I don't think it make sense to backward to become a banker and start everything over. The whole interview was great conversation and smooth, just because the title made me can't move forward, I think it's a bit unfair by turned down like this.
