You are asked to give examples of certain situations (e.g. challenging task, etc.) specific to a role in your resume. You are encouraged to use the STAR method while responding.

Interview
Recruiter reached out that my profile stands out as a match for a role they are looking to fill.
Had the initial phone screen with the recruiter who would pass on profile to the hiring team. Then received a generic email that my profile does not match what they are looking for to proceed.
For a culture that prides itself on feedback, only hearing that my profile doesn't match after being approached because my profile “stands out” is a bit odd.
