Despite a current Campbell's employee reaching out to me to apply for a role on their team that they thought I would be a good fit for and a position that I may have qualified for based on experience and interest, the screening call from the Recruiter was very disappointing. Instead of a standard screening call, I was told that I was underqualified and was told about the common qualifications typical candidates had for this kind of role. Instead of allowing me to explain my current and former roles and responsibilities, speaking to skills, and industry knowledge that would overlap, I only had a short time to walk through those before the Recruiter told me she knew my field of work and jumped to conclusions that my skills were likely non-transferable. These assumptions came from a different company and different background. In this field, skills are typically transferable with a new frame of reference and perhaps some training that comes with any new role at any company. My recommendation is that Hiring Managers and Recruiters speak more about open requisitions before speaking to candidates so that all parties are aligned.

It was standard behavioural interview with question about yourself, your motivation of applying for the position and behavioural questions of your previous working experience. For example, describe one time you lead a team.
