HR called on phone informing that my profile is shortlisted and sent me an MS Teams video meeting invite. On the scheduled date and time, the HR wasn't even aware that my interview was supposed to happen, I had to remind them and after waiting for about 10-15 mins the panelist joined. He asked me about my background and apologized for joining late, least I could expect. I shared my past professional experience and what I was looking for but the panelist, who also shortlisted my resume told me that my profile doesn't fit well for the role that I applied for - Is this a joke? However, the Job Description was absolutely relevant to my profile. Only good thing was that the panelist told me about the role - sounded like Production Support work and not much R&D related, which was totally not what I was looking for. Also, panelist was not knowledgeable enough to understand what kind of skillset you're supposed to take into account for a Data Engineer role. My suggestion is to screen candidates properly before inviting them for an interview. We set some hopes when we're given a chance and also give our time for preparing and appearing for the interview.
