Applied online. They emailed a month later to schedule a phone interview. Interview was a week later. The interviewer started by saying “to be fully transparent I don’t think this job is a match”. Well, then why did you contact me for an interview? I am certain that the interviewer just needed to show she completes x number of interviews in a week and used me as someone to check off of her to-do list. Lesson to be learned: don’t get your hopes up if they contact you.
