I had a phone screening with a recruiter. I spent probably 30 minutes talking about my experience with React, Node, vanilla JavaScript. Then this:
Recruiter: do you know "the DOM language"?
Me: Uh well I am obviously pretty comfortable manipulating the DOM through JavaScript and I'm comfortable with HTML/CSS
Recruiter: "okay but do you know the DOM LANGUAGE?"
Me: yeah I have a good understanding of the DOM interface.
Recruiter: "so you don't know the DOM language specifically, just JavaScript and HTML"?
Me: "No I totally know the DOM LANGUAGE too. Total expert".
Me (to myself): "I really hope that didn't sound mean. It's not his fault".
