I explained that ImageTrend develops software for emergency response and healthcare, supporting EMS and hospitals with tools for data reporting and communication. I showed I understood their mission and was genuinely interested in their work. Despite having 5 years of experience and being willing to accept the lower end of the pay range (70k), I was not offered the position. The interview felt one-sided, rushed, and lacked engagement — which makes me question how they value experienced applicants.
