The recruiter was great to speak with and even proactively reached out to me, which I appreciated. However, the interview with the hiring manager was a different experience. He didn’t seem particularly engaged or interested in what I had to share. While I did most of the talking, there was little effort on his part to ask questions or create a dialogue. When I paused to see if he had any questions, he had none. The interview ended abruptly at the scheduled time, and I asked if I could follow up with questions via email—but I never received a response. I understand that people are busy, but the lack of follow-up felt unprofessional.
