Process
Recruiter reached out to me.
- Phone call with recruiter
- Call with hiring manager
It was a bad fit, so I declined that role and clarified what I'm looking for. They replied back and said they only had that role open for me. I'm curious if they've even read my resume. I also wonder why they'd hand-selected me for a role I'm way over-qualified for, especially when they've got other positions in my area.
Questions
They wanted someone who knows about software engineering to write the camera models API.
