I was contacted about 6 weeks after applying by someone asking me to propose some times for an interview and a time-limited assignment. I proposed a few times and then heard nothing back for two days. On the third day, I woke up to an email containing two writing assignments due the following morning. When I asked to reschedule as I would be traveling, the person told me they were "fast tracking" the hiring and, as such, were unable to reschedule.
Seriously? I had applied over a month ago. The whole correspondence seemed disorganized and unprofessional so I stopped my application process.
