Company promised full-time role, then rejected me for non-standard resume at 30

Company promised me a full-time role, then HR rejected me for having a non-standard resume at 30. I feel hopeless

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew the company's hiring standards before the interview"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't trust companies that promise full-time roles without clear hiring standards"
