I was at an interview and I was asked something like this,
"Are you familiar with xxx?",
"Have you done xxx before?",
"If I need you to do xxx, can you do it?"
The problem is that "xxx" are those skills and knowledge NOT listed in my resume. I said I can learn on the job but apparently, that is not good enough. Eventually, they rejected me on the spot because I did not meet their expectations.
While I expect rejection to be part of the job hunting process, but in this case, I think it is uncalled for. I mean if they keep asking me for skills I do not currently possess, of course I cannot meet their expectations.
Am I giving the wrong answer by saying I will learn on the job? How can I improve my answer?
