I was contacted by a third party recruiter. I had a preliminary screen with a hiring manager. The hiring manager was 15 minutes late for the call. It was one of those screens where me, the candidate was to be on video but hiring manager wasn't. This makes interviewing so much harder. I felt I answered the pop quiz questions correctly with just one obvious incorrect answer. I have several degrees plus a masters in cybersecurity. I am sick and tired of these pop quiz screens that don't measure at all what the candidate knows. Furthermore no one bothers to tell you what the pop quiz is going to be on. I feel these pop quizzes are just meant to screen you out. If any of my two years of obtaining a cyber security masters degree could be answered with a pop quiz I could have saved myself $80,000. I am also disabled, and a female and over 50. Just rampant ageism, and sexism. Palo Alto didn't get to where they were by hiring women or disabled people. The interviewer was polite if misleading. He ended the call with a talk to you soon comment which surprisingly is common. After a while and after millions of interviews there starts to be a pattern. I have only been interviewed once by a woman for a infrastructure technician position in over 30 yrs in the business. Usually the comment is I am not technical enough when they mean I am not young enough, not undisabled enough, and too female. I knew the answers just not in the pat way they wanted. This just happens over and over in interviews. Don't these companies realize that woman are a starting to become decision makers, managers, people who make decisions about what security products to invest in.
