The interview started with the hiring manager not having the correct resume in front of them. They stated that I went to a different school and that I had a different GPA. After correcting them, soon after, they asked if I had a certain certification that was not listed as a requirement in the initial job posting. The interview was essentially over after that in terms of being in the running. I said I was willing to obtain that certification, but was offered no assistance or assurance in retrieving it, despite already holding similar certifications. I was not contacted at all after this interview about whether I was being considered or not going forward, though I stayed positive, respectful, and kept a smile on my face the whole time, despite their shortcomings.
