I applied to a job back in November, a family member of mine works at a company and told me a friend of his would be hiring a new person for his group. He saw my resume, knew the experience I had, and told me to apply. I also know someone else who works on that team and they also told me to apply and that they thought I’d be a good fit. The week I applied, I was contacted to do a phone screening. I let the hiring manger know that I applied and I was open to chatting about it in the mean time. He said they would schedule interviews ASAP. I didn’t hear back for THREE MONTHS. The interview was rough, very long, only asked those very corporate-y questions. Not the kind of questions that made it easy to learn about you or the skills you actually have. It was three rounds all in one day and the last round was with the hiring manager. All rounds went as well as they could, but the last round didn’t go all that well. I also saw soon after the interview that they reposted the same role. I didn’t think much of it I thought maybe they were just hiring more than one person. I’m told I’ll hear back within a couple weeks. I already know I probably won’t hear back for a month. A month goes by and I still haven’t heard anything. I’m not too stressed about it because to be honest, I thought I’d hate the job but I needed a job so I probably would have taken it. After not hearing back for a month, I think my family remember reached out to his friend and asked what was going on. The next day I got an email saying they’d reposted the position because they don’t find anyone with some specific skill set they were looking for. Mind you, he saw my resume and saw that I definitely did not have that experience or those skills. So. In just annoyed. I’m annoyed that they wasted my time and money (had to buy interview clothes). I’m mad that they brought me in for a three hour interview for a job they knew they weren’t going to for me. I’m mad that they didn’t even have the decency to send me an email as soon as they knew they weren’t going to hire me. Especially since they are apparently friends with my family member. Fuck all these corporate scum who think they don’t own you even a simple sorry it don’t work out email after dragging you along for four months.
