Project Coordinator Interview

Neutral experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at SME

Interview

Received an email to set up phone screening. Nice and casual. This was for more of an administrative role but when I mentioned by technical skills and experiences I was told, "Well this role isn't very technical, we don't really need those experiences for this role" etc. when I'm just trying to talk about any skills. Person was nice though but isn't that what phone screening is for? Selling your abilities and knowledge?
