dissapointment with a recruitering company

I started applying here and there and now's the job market is always full in capacity I have to be vigilant of new positions coming in. I applied for a technical position level 2, note- I'm still working on a great company but there is no growth available anytime soon and all the level 2 team is outsourced which of course no one wants to spend their live doing simple stuff when the know and are meant for much more. I got a call for a great opportunity, spend a good time over the phone talking with the recruiter, she sent me to take a technical test to see my level of expertise, I passed it with 80% and they are looking for minimum 70% to take into consideration. right after that, she mentioned that it was time for the face to face interview and that I was going to be meeting with her manager, I thought perfect ! I get to the interview, I hand over my resume as a courtesy in hard paper. I start interviewing he asks technical question which of course are not easy specially answering by memory. anyone that is on a technical field knows that u need to be Infront of a computer in order to fix and/or find the solution. Once the interview was over, he tells me I'm light for the position they were offering. Of course, I was so disappointed since where I am, I feel that I'm stuck on my professional development and my growth has halted, and seems to find the next level in a Technical field is going to be challenge. of course, at the end, when they ask if I had questions and I felt unfit for that position, I asked him what could I fix on my resume to make it stand out more, he spent about 45 more minutes correcting it. then we part ways. I just hope I get more attention with his feedback. And I had to get that interview out of my chest - rant over

Hi Leonardo: I'm sorry you had this experience, but I do think it's really awesome that the recruiter spent so much time working with you on your resume. Have you been applying for technical jobs since? How has it been going?
