After the initial phone interview it was apparent that the role was actually closer to an Executive Admin position in scope and responsibility. I was told I’d be moving forward, to expect scheduling for a second interview, and references were requested. Instead, I heard nothing for over a week and then received a generic rejection email. It’s disappointing to see a company advertise a role one way, interview candidates as if it’s another, and then ghost after asking for references. If you want serious professionals to consider you, be transparent about the role and respectful of people’s time.
