The same day I received the rejection email from Apple, a different Apple recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn and asked me if I would be interested in a job at Apple. I wanted to see where it would go, so I said sure, tell me about the job. He described a position with the security testing team for all Apple products, but only very broadly. When I asked some detailed questions, he couldn't answer them, so he offered to set up a phone call with the team leader.
About 1.5 weeks after being contacted on LinkedIn, I got a call from the team leader. He described the position, and it sounded like something I'd enjoy, so I asked him how to apply for it; should I send a resume, etc. He said he had something like a resume in front of him (which I assume the recruiter copied from LinkedIn), and that I didn't have the experience or background they wanted, unless there was something I'd left off my resume.
I asked him why, if he had already decided that I didn't have the background he wanted, did he call me? He told me that he'd called me because the recruited had asked him to, because the recruiter couldn't answer my questions.
