Interview Experience
A few years ago a company put me through their whole 6 hour interview process (including 4h onsite.) We talked in the very first interview about how I didn’t know JavaScript. Wasn’t on my resume or in the job posting. During the onsite I managed to add working features to a React app, live, while being watched by several others - never seen the inner workings of a React app in my life before that, but I figured it out! They rejected me citing I was “bad at troubleshooting and not enough JS experience.” What’s the silliest reason you’ve been given by a company that rejected you?
