I applied for a position and was contacted the next day by the recruitment person who asked me to apply for a different opening she thought I was more qualified for. The interview process went quickly. Within the week I was offered to do a video interview. It consisted of a self recording of about seven questions-- the hardest part of the interview process. I had a phone interview within the next week with the recruitment person (from a different state, not affiliated with the branch I applied for at all). It just turned out to be a verification of my education and job history and salary. She then set up a Skype interview with the hiring manager (I lived in a different town). The Skype interview was super laid back. He called about 10 minutes late and only asked about three questions that were easy. I sent a follow up email thanking him. After a week I didn't hear anything so I contacted the recruitment person who said he hadn't decided and would within the week. A week later I still hadn't heard so I followed up again. She said he still hadn't decided. That was two months ago and I never heard anything else. It would have been nice to know whether I was in or out or where the hiring process was at. Were they waiting on funding? Was I close, but not quite what they were looking for? It was really disappointing to be left in the lurch like that.
