    I’ve interviewed far too many pale where the interview went like this:

    It says you worked on this huge project, how did it work?

    Oh, I was on the team but I wasn’t really involved in [MAIN PART OF PROJECT].

    Okay, well what did you work on then?

    I was on the team. I coordinated with the team.

    HR said I can’t abruptly end these interviewes anymore and there’s 50 minutes left on the clock. How did you get through the other screening emails again?

        I don’t care if your project was fancy or exciting, I just need to understand your technical contributions and skillset.

        Starting off with lying on the resume is just a total non starter for me.

      This is why I can’t seem to even get an interview. People just apply to any and all jobs using whatever cv/experience they have or don’t have.
