A recruiter found my resume and invited me to apply for the front-end position. He asked about scheduling a call to discuss the job, which I did. However, instead of discussing the role, he jumped into quiz questions on web development and my resume, which I wasn't prepared for. No details of the job were actually discussed.

The call went okay despite that, and I moved on to a technical phone interview. I asked my recruiter prior to the call if I was qualified enough to move forward, since I hadn't worked with any JavaScript in the past year, but he said it was fine.

My phone interview was in JavaScript only and focused on some specific parts of the language that I couldn't remember enough about to code up. The process ended here for me.

Both my recruiter and interviewer were nice throughout the process, but I was very ill-prepared and felt somewhat misled by the recruiting team. As a new graduate, the inability to choose my coding language was also unusual to me (even though it made sense regarding a front-end position).
