Applied online, and someone called by phone within weeks. Before that, I had a few years of sales experience in Asian markets. He tried to explain to me the job descriptions in very great detail, very much appreciate that part.
Then ask me some questions....maybe because he didn't expect me to speak English the way he expected. Then suddenly he is asking: " If you are good at sales, why you are not hired." I was silent not because he got me or because I thought he was smart. During the Pandemic, my job offering around half a year ago was stolen by an ethical recruiter. Obvious you can't talk sense to someone who is trying to be a jerk.
So according to your logic, I was qualified as a sales before suddenly I am not because I am in between jobs? Finally, I get a good job, I bet that's the answer for you.
