Interview Experience:
I applied for a Quality Assurance Section Head role through LinkedIn. The job description was clear and listed general requirements such as experience in QA, ISO standards, and leadership skills. It did not mention a need for experience in a specific industry.
During the interview, I introduced myself and shared my career history and achievements relevant to QA. However, the interviewer quickly shifted the focus and began asking challenging questions that seemed less about relevant skills related to the job and more about industry background. Eventually, I was told they were looking for experience in a specific industry, which was never mentioned in the job posting.
After that, the discussion became less about the role and more about promoting the company, which made it unclear whether the interview was still being taken seriously.
Overall Impression:
There seemed to be a disconnect between the job posting and the actual expectations of the interviewer. It felt like my time wasn’t fully respected, and the process lacked transparency and structure. I would recommend the company improve internal communication and be more upfront about their requirements.
