Ok so I applied for a job that I am pretty uniquely suited for in two fields and maybe overqualified for.
I applied at 3pm Thursday, they emailed me Friday asking if I could interview with the person who would be my supervisor if I got the role today. Interview was supposed to be 30 minutes – it went 14. I am a good interviewer and particularly for a role where I have to work with people I am warm and funny, not to toot my own horn.
Interviewer was rushed, only asked about basic items on my resume. I did a ton of research and tried to ask questions and she brushed them off and said those were questions for a subsequent interview.
She then told me the position I applied for was closed and there were two positions at the same level. But I applied for the other position from what she mentioned and had looked at the JD literally 3 times including 2 hours beforehand. I know what I applied for and the application auto response, her personal email, and the title of the zoom meeting included the name of the position.
I’m very confused and I expect I won’t be invited back for another interview which is fine because this is a major red flag but the entire time I was like… what?
Is this normal? I get places are understaffed but I feel like I was just business gaslight. I literally have a screenshot of the info on what I applied for and they rushed me for an interview.
