The whole interview process took over 6 weeks. I had a zoom interview and a panel interview all for them to keep updating me that I am still a top candidate. After waiting 2 weeks, they finally reached out and told me that they have reposted the job to broaden their applicant pool. ??? confused, just tell me NO from the beginning why keep stringing me along telling me I'm a finalist to just add salt to the wound at the end to tell me they have reposted the job. Disrespectful and not professional.

After completing the application, I was contacted by email to set up a telephone interview with the Office Manager. I spoke with the Office Manager and the next day, had another phone interview with the second highest in the department. After that, I was brought in to interview with Office Manager and three other people from the department.
