An awful confrontation is definitely not a way to go. May want to try coaching approach, politely explaining the difference. For all you know, it may have been an intentional filter.
Bottom line though is that it helps you to use the same keywords they are looking for, to the extent you have the relevant experience.
- agumonkey 12y agoIntentional meaning her toying with me to test my stability ? Any way I failed hard, I was in a bad place and immature. Of course I would do everything differently. Acceptance of the game instead of anger.
- nemanja 12y agoYeah, it's possible - HR should screen for cultural fit and sometimes they may pull a trick or two like that. I've never toyed with applicants per se, but would occasionally ask them to explain me something that is either very simple or that they know very well, to test for condescension and arrogance. Bottom line is that if someone shows arrogance in an interview, they will likely suck to work with and unlikely to be good mentors to juniors.
- agumonkey 12y agoIt's funny, because I'm rarely arrogant in the workplace, I love sharing, but when I'm denied very simple job offers by someone who doesn't seem to understand what we're talking about it rapidly grind my gears to that sad point.
