I've been trying to get a job for about 3 months now and I truly understand how hard it is to get an interview than actually get hired
I found a great company (I thought) which was for a position I specialize in which I have 8 years experience. I was chosen to do an interview and everyone was extremely happy, was making them laugh and it was amazing, they than told me it was going to be 3 more interviews which I was surprised but said it's no problem because they told me it will all be done within 1-2 weeks
I got the following email 1 day after moving forward to next steps which was a zoom call with Managers, which also went great he personally told me he would move me forward
I than got the email 2 days later to come back into the office to meet Recruiting managers, this was with 2 people and again went great and told me they will let me know results the following week. I ended up getting the final zoom call meeting with one of the Founders
As soon as I joined the call the founder let out a huge sigh like she wasn't happy at all, but didn't want that to throw me off. She started asking me strange questions that had nothing to do the job. “What would you do if someone ate your food” I thought this was some part to lighten up the mood? But anyway she seemed extremely uninterested in no matter what I was saying
I emailed my contact throughout the entire process and she told me they needed 1 week to decide on but they all loved me , no promises
I waited a week and got no email or phone calls I decided to email her, got no response for a day than called twice she still didn't answer
She finally decided to call me back and say they offered someone the job 3 weeks prior but because they loved me so much they are trying to find a position for me…like what the hell is this? Is this what finding a job is now? Just hoping companies aren't lying to your face and wasting your time? But complain they can't find people.
Anyway I guess this is just a learning experience for me
