Casual, easy, tell em what they want to hear. I gathered that management was unsympathetic of the employees, and pretty well understood the guys personal opinions on all sorts of social and political topics. Weird, but I was desperate.

From the moment I walked into the office for the interview, I sensed I wouldn’t be receiving an offer. I understood I was overqualified, but I was simply seeking a part‑time role for personal reasons. I didn’t receive any feedback until I followed up myself. If attracting talent is truly a priority, timely communication speaks volumes and reflects the culture an organization claims to uphold.
