I applied to a role 12 days ago and received a first-round interview request 2 days later. I confirmed my interview for the following week. However, when I called the recruiter on the day of the interview, I was informed that the hiring team is no longer accepting applications. They mentioned that they already have 12 candidates in the second and third rounds. I expressed my disappointment and mentioned that I had prepared for the interview, but they apologized and said they should have sent me an email beforehand. Keep in mind that the role was posted on LinkedIn 2 weeks ago. Then they asked me what type of positions I am interested in, which was nice, but I feel like my resume and application should have been a good indicator of that. The call lasted only four minutes. The overall experience didn't leave me feeling great. The original email response was a template and did not include my name, and no calendar invite was sent to confirm the interview. I had spent a few hours preparing for the interview as the role was a great match for my experience and passions. Please check for any typos.
