Drip (CA) interview questions

Position is specifically looking for someone that has a large range of connections within the industry. Although I had a wide arrange of connections, it wasn't for the exact department they were looking for and the recruiter was immediately disinterested in what I had to say despite my 10 years of sales and leadership experience. Told me that if I was lucky I could start off with referrals and slowly work my way into an hourly position with them. Definitely a slap to the face as I've held senior and leadership sales roles. Unfortunately this interview has swayed my overview of the company towards a negative direction.
