Recruiter from Amazon reached out and wants me to interview for a position which is not quite matching my background. While I never got the opportunity to interview for the position I applied online. Is it ok to express that I do not feel comfortable with this position as it requires skillset which I have no clue. I wonder how does recruiter match me for that.

I would ask for clarification and make sure you are clear that you do not have X skill/requirement. Could just be that the job description is generic and this particular role is looking for something slightly different, or could be the recruiter overlooking the requirement.

Not really needing a referral, but last Thursday I got a call from BlackRock More like I missed a called. It was around 5:30 on Thursday and I was just away from my phone. No voicemail. Number came from their main office at the NY HQ. Someone can just look up the number on their website. I’m convinced it’s a recruiter for a position I applied to (one of several) but without the voicemail and no answer when I called the number back I’m not sure what to do. Any advice? Any blackrock HR out here?
