This is what I have experienced the last few months. The interviewer checks off boxes in their notes as you successfully utter the current "buzzwords" they are looking for. I didn:t notice the connection until I had 2 interviewers & the guy pulling for me gave me a wink or thumbs up when his associate paused to make a mark on his notepad. Afterward, my guy affirmed I hit the right topics. Sadly, I didn`t make the cut as I was asking for a "livable" wage which exceeded their professed "competitive" offering.
