First interview with HR for 30 mins to talk about experience and for them to get a gadget of you. Positive experience and great interview.

Question 1
They gave me a table with column names and I had to answer some questions using SQL queries
It was an informal interview style without structure.
I was disappointed as the lady doing the interview said she'd provide feedback, but then ghosted. The whole thing felt a bit arbitrary, have a friendly chat, but then reject without clarification.
