I recently interviewed for a position at CPU and had an extremely disappointing experience. From the start, the hiring manager seemed disinterested and dismissive. Rather than asking me questions about my background, skills, or how I could contribute to the role, the entire interview was spent with the hiring manager repeatedly stating that I was "overqualified" for the position. It was confusing and frustrating because they had my resume well in advance—why invite me for an interview if it was clear from the beginning that I wasn't a fit? What made it even more uncomfortable was that the second interviewer was completely silent throughout the process, offering no questions or engagement. I left the interview feeling like my time had been wasted, and the interaction left me with a poor impression of the company’s professionalism and respect for candidates. If a company believes a candidate is overqualified, they should either not move forward with the interview or at least make the conversation meaningful. I expected a discussion about my experience and how it might align with the role, but instead, I was met with a dismissive attitude. Overall, the experience was unproductive and felt unprofessional.
