Call with a recruiter first saying how this role would align really well with my current experience. Video call over teams with 2 people (they were a few minutes late and no apology) though we had a great conversation and it was fairly relaxed and it felt like I was a great fit in terms of personality, work ethic and passion. They had spoken to the recruiter about me beforehand and had my CV so knew about me before meeting me but it turns out an hour of my time was effectively wasted because I didn’t have the level of experience required even though they supposedly take people of varying levels and have a great training programme. Please only interview people if you think they have the required experience, don’t lead them on and waste their time. Looking for a new job takes so much time and energy and that doesn’t deserve to be wasted.
I am also writing more new business in my current role than they expect of their new starters so it didn’t make any sense at all as to why they said I don’t have the required experience - you’ve seen my CV and I’ve told you my numbers. Yes I’m new to this role with only a few months experience and looking for a more supportive environment to help me thrive but I’m exceeding the targets you set so surely that shows I’m more than capable to achieve your numbers.
