A recruiter reached out to me about an interview opportunity.

I had an initial interview with the recruiter, where I shared my work history. They asked if I was willing to relocate to San Francisco, and I confirmed my interest a few days later via email.

The second stage was a call with the hiring manager, which lasted no more than 20 minutes.

The interviewer conducted the call from a phone booth, resulting in constant interference. The questions were very basic – mostly about my work history and challenges I had faced.

Two days later, I received a rejection email.

Overall, the interview felt very superficial, with no real opportunity to demonstrate my actual skills for the job.

Tell me about the most recent challenge you faced. How did you collaborate to solve it?
