I had two rounds of interviews for a marketing role, but the process felt disorganised and unclear. The first round was a phone interview with HR, followed by an in-person interview that lasted over an hour. This included an unplanned introduction to senior staff and an office tour, which I wasn’t informed about beforehand. Many of the questions focused on conflict resolution and "pushing back" against senior staff, which seemed unrelated to the job description. I was even asked what I would aim to accomplish in the role within three months, which felt like something the employer should have defined. After waiting two weeks and following up, I received a generic rejection email with no feedback, despite requesting it. The entire experience felt like a waste of time and money, especially since the role seemed poorly defined and the organisation appeared unsure of what they were looking for. While the charity’s mission is meaningful, the hiring process was unprofessional and lacked transparency. I will most likely not apply for a job here again.
