I had a pre-screening interview with a recruiter from the US. She said that she would send my CV to the manager to verify my experience and continue with the process.

Then I had another screening with a different recruiter. This recruiter primarily read questions and mostly asked about how I collaborate under pressure, which was a bad sign for me. She ended up telling me the same thing as the first recruiter: that my CV would be sent to the manager. This resulted in a rejection, stating that the manager and team would not progress with the application.

I feel this was a waste of time going through the same process twice.

About how I manage short deadlines and working under pressure.
