Who has encountered such an embarrassing situation

I went to the job market to look for work. I came across a job posting for a mechanical structure engineer, requiring knowledge of mechanics of materials, CAD skills, familiarity with mechanical parts manuals, and 3 years of work experience. When I submitted my resume, the recruiter took a look and said, \"You used to work in pressure vessel design, right? Pressure vessels are those tanks and similar structures, aren’t they?\" I said: Yes. He said, \"A pressure vessel can be designed just with a few circles; it’s too simple. You’re not suitable for this position.\" I was speechless at that moment, then I just left. Have you guys encountered such a problem?

This is normal; there are indeed significant differences in understanding among different industries. I work in automatic control, and I’ve even been asked by colleagues from other departments within the same company whether our job simply involves copying data and creating tables

Think about it from another angle: a company that can’t understand how others do their work, an interviewer who relies solely on subjective assumptions – do you really think there’s any need to work for such a company?

Yes, that’s why I left in a fit of anger at the time
Reply #52009-04-17
It’s understandable to be angry; no industry should be degraded or dismissed. Don’t lose your pride and confidence just because it’s difficult to find a job right now. Believe that you will definitely find the ideal job for you. Please accept my blessings

It’s as if there are mountains between us! But that recruiter is really stupid.

That recruiter has a problem; try to do well on your own so that he will regret his actions in the future

That person probably isn’t very capable; in the company, there are only those who flatter others and use backdoor tactics, so it’s hard for him to achieve anything. But in our company, there are just a few such people who have managed to get ahead over time. In this world, nothing is certain. . . :(

Yeah, why is society like this?
Reply #102009-04-17
This is quite normal these days; when recruiting, especially for experienced candidates, people look for those with a highly relevant professional background. Unlike right after graduation, it’s fine if the majors are similar. :handshake

With such HR, you will find yourself very disappointed in the company; although once you start working there, it doesn’t really matter to them
Reply #122009-04-18
If I were in such a situation, I would refuse this job. I would also tell her, \"It’s that simple? Then create one in your company so I can see it – do you really have the capability to do that?\" Is there? ”
Reply #132009-04-24
If I were in his shoes, I would ask him back the first question: \"Do you understand pressure vessels?\" ” Anyway, the outcome is the same; why bother letting others ask questions that are pointless?

When you encounter an idiot, it’s useless to try to explain things to him – he just won’t understand!!! When dealing with recruiters who think they’re smart, it’s best to just leave without wasting time on them!!! These recruiters might be just staff from the HR department; in fact, they don’t know much about specialized knowledge!!!

I feel sorry for what the original poster has gone through! It’s as if there are mountains between us; he has no idea what you do for work.
Reply #162009-04-24
Yeah, I should have asked the question back
Reply #172009-04-24
Heh, I’m speechless; you’ve run into a talent.
Reply #182009-04-24
Ugh, can someone like this even come for recruitment? :(
Reply #192009-04-24
There’s nothing to do about it – those who don’t understand other fields are terrifying. It’s like when my classmate went for the second round of interviews, a teacher asked him to explain the relationship between greenhouse gases and the greenhouse effect. Zhen Er. I really didn’t expect to ask such a question. If it were up to me, I would never be with him, even if it meant dying.
