The initial phone screen lacked any real substance. The conversation consisted solely of the interviewer asking questions that were already answered directly on my resume, with no follow-ups or deeper inquiries. There were no questions about my technical skills, my professional background, or the specifics of the position itself. The call felt more like a checkbox exercise for the company to meet call quotas rather than a genuine effort to vet candidates. It was not an engaging experience and, frankly, felt like a poor use of time.
