I applied over the weekend and was contacted that following Monday. I first met with the CFO over the phone for a screening interview, and a few days later I had a second interview over Zoom with the only other accounting department employee. Both conversations went well, and I didn’t receive any indication that things hadn’t gone smoothly — we even discussed next steps and what to expect. I followed up consistently, probably a bit too often in hindsight, because I was genuinely excited about the opportunity. After about three weeks of weekly follow-ups, I received an automated rejection email with no prior communication. I reached out to both interviewers asking for feedback but never received a response. As far as I can tell from LinkedIn, the position still hasn’t been filled and was actually reposted, so it seems they’re in no rush to bring someone new on. Overall, the interview process started out strong but ended with poor communication and no closure, which was disappointing.
