EAB General Manager interview questions

Recruiter contacted me after I submitted my resume for another position. They asked re: my interest in a general manager position. I proceeded to interview with a recruiter, who then indicated that they needed prior GM experience for this position. As I didn't apply for the GM position nor claim that experience on my resume, it was a bit odd - and seemed to distract them from talking with me about the position for which I seemed a more logical fit.
