I was contacted by a very nice Recruiter within a week of applying for a certain role. Upon our conversation, she felt as if I would be a better fit for a higher level position within the company. I then met with a Regional VP of Operations, which also went quite well. After this I was scheduled three more interviews with executive leadership. The first two went great, but the fifth and final interview with the COO left me feeling completely disappointed. I was told from the beginning of the interview how busy he is and how he didn’t really have the time to speak with me. He rushed through his questions and I was barely able to get an intelligent response out. It left me feeling extremely nervous and very unheard. When asked if I had any questions, I responded that I had met with several other individuals and at the time they had answered everything I had asked wonderfully, I was met with a negative reaction and told how the role is a higher level position and that I must meet with everyone. I tried my best to explain that I was not complaining, just trying to inform him of all of the information I was previously provided with. I was completely shut down after. I left the interview feeling as if I had just stepped out of a hostile environment. I followed up with the Recruiter and thanked her for everyone’s time. One week and two follow up emails later, I have still received no response as to if the position has been filled. A follow up email letting me know they have decided to go in a different direction would have been greatly appreciated,
