The interview process was virtually non-existent. Although the initial stage included pre-application questions about my background and qualifications, the employer turned me down without reviewing my LinkedIn profile or opening my application (LinkedIn has the ability to show if the application was opened, which they did not.) There was no opportunity for an interview or further discussion, which made the rejection feel abrupt and dismissive. This experience was particularly frustrating given that I met and exceeded all the stated requirements for the role.
