I traveled for an in-person interview only to learn—after sitting for over an hour with a non-managerial staff member—that the full-time role I applied for was no longer being considered full-time. This critical change was never communicated in advance. Only at the end did the Executive Director arrive and casually mention it, wasting my time and energy. For an organization that claims to value transparency, this process was anything but. A simple email before the interview would have shown respect for my time and professionalism.
