Interview went so well just to be rejected
Long story short. Took the hiring manager forever to get back with me to schedule first interview with hiring manager (not his fault). Recruiter told me they were really interested after reviewing my resume over a month ago. Finally scheduled the interview this week. It went super well. I checked all the boxes , even had experience with a software that was brought up during the interview that wasn’t on the JD. They were looking for a strong background in business analysis. I’ve been a BA most of my career and progressed into PM roles. During the interview, he kept saying how impressed he was and how I spoke like a true BA/PM.
Here’s the odd part: at the end of the interview he went on a rant about how the company values diversity and that the team is 90% male. That it would be beneficial to “add some diversity “ (im a black woman with a very white male name btw) . ALL OF THAT JUST TO NOT EVEN MOVE ME TO THE NEXT ROUND! They saw my resume, they knew I was a PM. Im not understanding “too must project management talk” when you knew my experience before hand.
Anybody have any thoughts? Anyone having similar issues?
