After the screening, I was set up for the first round of interview with a manager over the phone. He told me that this was going to be a short call and then started to ask me questions about projects that I worked on. The questions themselves were fine, but he seemed to doing this interview as if just going through the motion and showed no interests in what I said. It seems that an HR recruiter just picked up my resume and set up the interview. We were just set up to spend 20 minutes together with no enthusiasm from the other side. There was also a mismatch in our backgrounds and no mutual interests. I thought that there should be more careful consideration on who should interview with what type of candidate, based on his expertise. I somewhat felt I wasted my time.
