Job interviews should always consider if the correct tool was used for the use case.
So, if someone used k8s where it was not needed, that experience means zilch:
1) it was the wrong tool for the job
2) it was not used at the right scale. So, if I need k8s to manage a really large deployment, someone who used k8s to manage 5 machines does not have the right experience since they never used it at my scale.
