I was contacted via email (which is only available through LinkedIn) by a hiring manager who expressed interest in my background and requested my resume. However, no details about the role or its specific requirements were provided. After conducting my own research, I located the job description, which lacked any clear qualifications or expectations. During the initial interview, only broad, generic questions were asked, and no feedback was offered. Based on the nature of the questions, it appeared that neither my resume nor LinkedIn profile had been reviewed prior to the meeting. The following day, I received a rejection email citing the need for a more senior candidate. The experience suggested that the hiring process may have been more focused on meeting internal KPIs for outreach and interviews rather than conducting a meaningful assessment of fit.
