I’m trying to break into a niche industry and just graduated. I won a competition and got invited to visit the one company. I assumed it was an interview, but didn’t get my hope up. They PUMPED me up told me how incredible I was etc etc. Told me it was an interview. Told me they were going to make a position for me to work there. The official interview was today. Did the interview. They grilled me over my portfolio. Then I asked if it was hybrid and salary. NO JOB. I’m not sure if after that they decided they didn’t want me anymore. I mean they were condescending and asked me if this was my first interview. I’ve just never been girlled like that. I seriously don’t understand the point. But anyways NO JOB told me the interview was exploratory for the future. I’m so over it.
