First Regional Library interview questions

The interview process for the Public Relations/Marketing Coordinator role felt unnecessarily demanding and ultimately, disrespectful of my time. I received a last-minute interview request on a Friday for a Monday slot. This included an expectation to create a brand-new flyer from scratch and deliver a 3-minute elevator pitch for the library, all with minimal prep time. The interview itself felt extremely formal and rehearsed on their end, almost like a performance, rather than a genuine two-way conversation. I was politely told I would hear back, but despite the significant effort I put into the requested projects, I never received any follow-up or rejection notification. It was disappointing to learn about their hired candidate via a public announcement, suggesting the process might have been a formality rather than a true consideration of all applicants. A simple rejection email would have been professional and courteous.
