Got a call from HR after I applied with my C.V. I had 1 year experience as a software developer at that point, but no professional spring framework experience (only personal projects). First part was a phone call with HR, just to assess my level of English. Then, I had a technical interview, which turned out to be a bad experience. I made clear in my C.V. and in my discussion with HR that I have NO professional experience with spring framework, but the guy that was holding the technical interview was shocked when he found out, and he just told me that unfortunately they are looking for someone with at least one year experience in spring framework. Even though I answered correctly all his spring related questions, I was still rejected for that reason. Felt unjustified and like they wasted my time and their time because the technical team did not bother to check my C.V.
