The 8th guy looked at my resume and, without talking to me, decided I'm under-qualified. He cancelled the call 1 hour before it was scheduled. Qualifying 7 rounds before that, and getting positive reviews from 7 of his peers wasn't enough to instill confidence over my resume.
Now I thank my lucky stars. Because that's a representation of the minuscule level of trust and team cohesion that these people have in their peers. Good riddance.
After 1 round of technical interview for a Manager position:
> "Sorry, we're on a hiring freeze"
I pressed my contact to reach out to the guy who interviewed me. He said, 'Yeah. I like the guy. I gave a positive feedback' (I would've been his manager, actually).
So, what really happened?
> Sorry, we're only looking for women candidates for this position.
(My name can apply to both genders. The recruiter called and heard my voice before scheduling the interview.)
I think you might want to update this.
