Recruiter called 10 minutes late, was driving while interviewing, told me the next interview with the hiring manager was conversational abd they ewanred me 2 talk about 2 prob but that I didn’t need to present my portfolio just yet, I thought it was odd, so I sent follow up questions which they didn’t respond. I followed my gut and still prepared a portfolio presentation with 2 case studies. When I had the interview with the hiring manager, I shared what the recruiter told me but asked if they wanted me to share my portfolio presentation, the hiring manager confirmed this was indeed a portfolio presentation and this was not a conversational interview, and mentioned the recruiter was wrong. Thank god I decided to prepare the portfolio presentation. Anyways, the portfolio presentation was regular, 5 min intros, 30 min case study presentation, 10 min q&a . I got asked 1 question, then I asked a couple of questions. Got the recruiter email 2 days after that they wanted to keep the process with other candidates, I requested feedback and never heard from the recruiter anymore. I spent a week making my portfolio presentation, just for them to not even give me feedback, that’s ruuude.
