Behavioral Technical

I had two interviewers for this role. One of them, who was in a more junior position, kept sighing, probably because I wasn't the candidate they had in mind. Even though I gave it my best shot, his reaction bothered me. Since I'm new to the professional world, I noticed they care more about what you learned in school and how you'll apply it, rather than skills from previous jobs. Clearly, just experience isn't enough for them.
