I've had a recruiter from a recruiting agency and a HR person at a company (different jobs) ask me to update my resume with something I wasn't comfortable with.
I didn't do it, both still offered me interviews and the focus of the interview was those technologies. I pointed out that it wasn't on my resume and yup it wasn't, everyone seemed confused.
At the time I was trying to break into the industry and didn't feel like telling them.
I really just want to talk to some technical folks at the company, 10 minutes and if they're honest we probably both know if I'm a good fit or not... but rather it's recruiter and HR filters up the wazoo.
The whole thing is a stupid game where companies, recruiters, and etc don't know what they're talking about, play alphabet soup, ghost people ... and then get upset when it happens to them...
The whole process seems disconnected and shockingly dishonest.
