I went through a few phone interviews with the Talent Acquisition Manager and finally was invited onsite. Phone conversations were great, although I felt I was having to try and convince her that this position would be “challenging” enough for my career. I’m in a transition, which could pose a problem based on other roles that I’ve had.
The great thing about this company is that due to my being out of state - they paid for my flight, hotel and meals. They were supposed to pay for my rental, but I’m waiting on reimbursement for that still. The in person interview was quite lengthy, but standard questions to be quite honest. I met with two recruiters, an HR manager, the executive assistant, the HRIS manager, for a panel, and finally the Talent Acquisition Manager for my final interview onsite. I also received a tour of their facility as well.
Almost three weeks had gone by and I had not heard a follow up regarding the position, so I decided to send the hiring manager (Talent Acquisition Manager) an email to follow up. No reply to that email, but later that evening she did call and I missed it. I called back, with no answer and left a message. Another day goes by and I receive a call stating that they are moving forward with other candidates. Pretty disappointing experience, but companies know who they want.
