I have 5+ yrs experience as a BA/PO. I applied to a job for a Sr. BA with a start-up, that really interested me. The JD requirements said the candidate should have 5+ yrs BA experience. Well, I interviewed (Wed 4/13) with the recruiter and they said wow I think you have what the hiring manager is looking for. Fast forward to this morning, I reach out for updates and they tell me that the hiring manager was looking for someone with more BA and startup experience. What gives??
