I certainly appreciate the honesty, and if we had another role that would suit that person, I would’ve switched the interview to that one instead.
We had someone apply for a FE internship and they were failing, but I noticed they had BE skills in their resume so I switch the interview to that instead. We ended up hiring them for a FT BE role with the promise they could do full-stack if they wanted. They’ve been a great employee since, and I’m glad my boss was able to be flexible on that position (we needed another BE, but hadn’t created the position yet since we needed FE more).
I can’t guarantee everywhere is like that, but I can say interviewing gets old and if we can fill a position (even if it’s not what we were expecting), we’ll do that.
