Futrend Technology Help Desk Manager (SharePoint Heavy) interview questions

Easy, no hard questions. On arriving for the interview, I told the interviewer that I was NOT an expert on SharePoint; I know how to train people in the basics and how to operate the application. That being said, the interviewer continued and we really seemed to click. I thought "This job is mine" until more than two weeks had passed. It turns out that this is another run-of-the-mill companies that bid on US Federal Government contracts without telling the interviewee that the job isn't theirs to offer. The whole episode turned out to be three hours of my life that I'll never get back. What a joke this company is. When I called the recruiter to ask where I stood as far as offering me the job, I was told that the company's owners (a husband and wife team from China) wouldn't be back from holiday until "X", more than three weeks after my interview. Why on earth should a manager of the company interview me and offer me the job, only to have to wait for "the couple" to have final say as to who gets hired and who doesn't?! Why do you have managers in the first place? I've since read here on Glassdoor that the CEO micromanages to the Nth degree, so maybe I dodged a bullet in not working for these morons.
