Thank you for taking the time to speak with Leo yesterday. He, unfortunately, does not feel you have the skills we are currently seeking so we will not be inviting you in for an in-person, on-site resume at this time. We wish you well in you career search and will keep your resume for consideration of future/other openings.
Best regards,
Cindy

To which I replied:
Cindy,
Expected - No problem. I didn't think Leo asked the kind of questions that would determine a quality software engineer. Instead he tested on facts, despite him saying he wouldn't in his introductory comments. For instance: He asked details on "Synchronization". I know what it is and where to get more information on it. Since I haven't had a need to use it, why would I keep more information in my head than that? Same with questions about "protected". I don't use it; and in fact, think it’s a useless construct. His DB questions: I didn't get the essence of what he was asking until I got off the phone.
If you got this far, thanks for reading. You will be filling your company with a bunch of robots with your evaluation criteria, in my not very humble opinion!
