I had a phone screening with an in house recruiter and then with the hiring manager. Originally when I applied to the Senior Technical Writer's role it was the only available technical writing position. A few weeks after I applied, they opened a more intermediate technical writing role in the security division. The recruiter asked if I would be okay with switching from the senior role to the intermediate role. I said that it was fine, I was more qualified for the intermediate role so I figured that it would up my chances of getting hired. After the recruiter confirmed that I would be happy talking about the intermediate role in the security division he set up a call with the hiring manager. I spoke with the hiring manager, everything seemed good. He told me that he plans to hire 10+ writers over the next year. Nothing unusual about the phone screen. A week or so later the recruiter called me and said, "yeah, I'm sorry it didn't work out, manager said he didn't think you were interested in working in security." NOPE. I then had a very awkward conversation with the recruiter about how the manager and I did not talk about my supposed lack of interest in working in the security division because I said I was interested in the security technical writing position. The reason why I accepted the call with the manager was to learn more about the security technical writing position. At no time during the call did I say that I wasn't interested in working in the security division. The recruiter then informed me that there was a potential UX/UI writing role that may open in the spring and they'd like to consider me for that potential opening. Casual sexism for the win. After all, why would a woman want to work in security when she can work on the "softer side of tech" making less money?
