The hiring manager called me for a phone interview. He was very distracted and kept telling me to hold up to 5 minutes at a time about 6 times during the phone call. He pretty much told me I was a back up interview and that I most likely will not be hired because he had already offered the position to someone else. He said he was being transparent and giving me a fighting chance. I tried my best to be polite and ultimately did not get the job. It was a good learning experience..
