I was scheduled for an interview with the VP of Property Management, but unfortunately, no one showed up. After waiting, I contacted the recruiter for an update. She reached out to the company and learned that the VP had been pulled into a meeting. They assured her they would reschedule the interview. About 30 minutes later, the recruiter called back to inform me that the VP had decided not to proceed with the interview. She cited that after reviewing my resume, the VP felt my experience was insufficient.
I have over 12 years of property management experience, including in housing, and I found it disappointing not to have the opportunity to discuss my qualifications in person. The lack of communication and professionalism from a potential employer was disheartening. It’s essential for employers to remember that the interview process is a two-way street; candidates are also assessing the organization during this time.
