I had a tough day.
Remember the five interviews I had in one week at the beginning of May? The last one finally got back to me.
To review for those of you new to the saga: I applied for the job on April 4th.
I had a screening phone interview on April 10th, and then another weird second phone screening on the 26th, which was nearly identical to the first.
Interview was on May 6th, and I gotta say I 'nailed it' (though obviously, I didn't).
It was for a mid-sized social service agency.
The hiring manager said it'd be a slow process, but they would make a decision "in a week or two".
Thus began the long game of tag, which included his ten day vacation, his supervisor chiming in, and twice saying "we'll make a decision by Friday".
They told me today they "went with another candidate".
I'm all over the place here. I hate them for dragging me on more than not hiring me. I hate them for their impersonal, callous approach; their inability to even give me a call, talk to me personally, or even be straight with me a month ago. I would appreciate something like "we interviewed 5 people for 3 positions; you're our 5th choice" or something like that.
Is that so wrong?
So, those are some thoughts. But it's been a tough day after a long, difficult week.
