Has anyone ever received an email from a recruiter basically saying "you don't meet one of the requirements for the job that you applied for but I want to call you to talk about your experience"?

I've had this happen to me before. I didn't meet the years of experience requirement, but I still got the interview and ended up getting the job. Go figure lol

They probs just want to get a more well rounded view of your skill set. Couldn't hurt, and could lead to an actual opp with them

I've had this happen to me for my first job ever lol I was only 15 when I applied to this local thrift shop. They liked me so much they just ignored the fact that I was a minor. Don't know if that's illegal but it paid for first car :)

It's better than the ones who assume you have experience that you don't!

Yes, they are probably trying to assess or try to check if you fit for the other available positions in their company.

What are your thoughts about having to take an iq/personality assessment tests? It seems so outdated to me. I don’t think it predicts how you will truly perform at a job. I took a test like this for a startup once and they were concerned about my ability to speak up or behave in social settings. This was completely false. I present, interview clients, demo products, and facilitate meetings for a living. So what if I go home and shut down after work? I’m exhausted from speaking all day!

Hello,
