BlwAvgCdr9You're a bit too junior we need someone with a bit more experience. Job was listed as junior/apprentice dev.
My first interview.
Interviewer looks at my resume, asks me questions about the projects that I had done at that time.
Tells me he hadn't done this much when he was of my age.
Rejected.
