The initial recruiter called about two months after I applied for the position on the website. We had a short, 15-minute phone interview, after which I was set up for a phone interview with the hiring manager.

Unfortunately, there was a language barrier issue. Many of the questions I couldn't answer because I didn't know what the question was, rather than the question being difficult. I work in networking hardware, and when I was asked, "What is ART?" I had no clue how ART relates to networking hardware. After getting off the phone, I realized the question was probably "What is ARP?" Most of the questions were like this. The interviewer also cut off the interview prematurely as I was trying to get him to repeat one of the questions.

I felt like I didn't get a fair shake, but flushing out these issues ahead of time with the person who is going to be your boss, I guess, isn't the worst thing.

Of the questions I understood, none were too hard. It was less about what you were interviewing for and more about what I've done previously.
