This was a bad experience.
The job description did not mention that the job requires a specific skillset, such as automation testing with Selenium using Java, or experience with the DB2 database, or anything similar.
The job description stated a need for knowledge of at least one programming language, knowledge of database query tools, and knowledge of test automation tools and frameworks, all of which I have experience with.
The interviewer asked me questions for about an hour, and it seemed to go well. At the end, she asked if I would be able to work on Selenium with Java and DB2.
I told her I could handle it, as I am currently working with Selenium and C#, along with databases and other tools.
The interviewer then said she could tell I have Selenium and experience with other tools, but she was worried because the team is on a tight schedule and the project they are working on needs to be completed by October.
She also mentioned that the team does not have enough time for new hires to get up to speed. They would likely have a maximum of two or three days to begin doing actual work.
It is already September, and I did not understand her meaning.
Why select my resume and interview me when the situation was like this?
I don't understand why some companies post one thing in the job description and then expect something else.
It's just not fair.
Basic automation testing questions, such as how to connect to databases, how to open a browser using WebDriver, and SQL-related topics.
