Replied to a story on Instagram and was asked to fill in an application on Coffee Jobs Board. This was well received with a positive telephone discussion about the job and why the job would be good for me. Went to interview at the roastery and discussed my background and CV, again all very positive. Received a call a couple days later offering the job and I accepted. I wanted to ask some more questions about the job and future prospects and we set up another meeting (NOT a second interview). I was told by email the reason I was chosen was in my background in business development and this was why I was chosen over others. Everything still very positive and thus I gave in my notice at my job. Included with my questions I had an experienced contact make an executive report for SEO opportunities and another good contact to accept them as a client for government funded business consulting. After the second meeting (not an interview) they recalled the job offer and maintained the stance this was the second interview. All this can be proven by the emails. While I want to support speciality coffee roasters who in turn support smaller farmers around the world I feel there was a complete lack of experience in communication and hiring practice. While they have strong experience in coffee, they were seemingly to be scared by suggestions for how to scale up a company, despite this area being why they offered me the job in the first place. Perhaps they may have been worried I would steal their company after teaching me how to use the machinery??? They have a lot to learn in terms of building a team and scaling up a business, which will include confidence as a leader in setting boundaries for your own business. A very immature experience which has now left me without a job at the worst time. I would strongly suggest future applicants make sure what both sides want pre/post interview and offer. I would not recommend them as an employer due to the lack of experience and opposition to new ideas. I am writing this to prevent similar mistakes and hope the guys can learn from this experience and improve their business practices.
