The process began about a month after I applied. I took a chance and accepted the call on a whim, but unfortunately, the process turned out to be quite disorganized. During my initial interview, I learned that the role I applied for had already been filled. However, my expertise and experience aligned well with an open engagement manager position, so I began the interview process for that role instead.
I went through two phone interviews, Zoom calls, and an in-person interview. Afterward, I received a follow-up call stating that the decision was between another candidate and myself. They also inquired if I was interested in possibly joining the marketing team or a new role with more marketing responsibilities. I expressed interest but made it clear that I was still invested in the engagement manager role I had interviewed for.
Following this call, I was ghosted for about a month until I followed up and was told the role was filled. In response, I was again pitched the marketing role and told that if I was interested, a team member would reach out. I managed to speak with the team member, and from my understanding, the role would be a temporary contract to support the team where another team member had resigned.
I agreed to this and followed up again after our call to discuss the role, only to be notified that the team did not want to proceed. Ultimately, this experience was quite disrespectful to my time and to me as a professional interested in their organization. I prioritized this role based on the feedback I received from the team, which clearly turned out to be a mistake.
