I had an interesting experience recently during the application for a job I applied to on a job site. Just for the record I am currently employed. So I applied to a position for $20K+ more and got an initial phone screening with the HR manager. Everything goes well and he told me he highly recommended me and was going to let the CFO know to bring me in for an interview the following week. A week goes by and nothing. Ok. So I reach out via email to the HR manager on the application status. He tells me ” Sorry the CFO has the person he wants but if that doesn't work out maybe we'll bring you in.” It was just worded strange..so another week goes by and the HR person sends me back to back emails ” Can I bring you in for an interview urgently?”….nope…not going for that..just felt unprofessional.
