They contacted me after I signed up on the app to represent my current company at a virtual career fair.
I thought it was odd they used my work email to contact me—the same email I used to sign up on Handshake.
After receiving multiple emails from the recruiter about my LinkedIn profile being great, etc., I decided to interview.
The first interview was with the hiring manager. I thought it went well. There was nothing technical about it, but the next day I got the generic rejection email saying my background was not a good match.
I feel like after reviewing my LinkedIn profile and resume, they should have known my background was not a good fit. It felt like a waste of my time.
Please stop sending generic rejection emails.
