nCino Associate Support Engineer interview questions

Initial hiring manager phone call, skills assessment, then panel interview. After having good interviews I heard nothing back for an entire month after the initial application process already took a month. Then was sent a rejection email because they hired people with more experience for an entry level job. How is one supposed to gain relevant experience for the lowest level job in the company if you won’t hire them? I already had a stem degree which wasn’t even a requirement for the role but was listed as desired.
