I had two screening interviews before a panel final interview. I was asked to prepare a 30/60/90 day plan for the role. The two screening interviews were a half hour and the panel was an hour and a half. Overall, it took me about two hours to draft and edit the plan. In total it was about 4 hours of my time, about half of which I had to take off from my current job via PTO. One thing that was strange is that the last two calls I was just sent a time for an interview, and not asked if it that time would work for me. Just simply sent a calendar invite for a time. My resume, which I was made to submit multiple times, indicates I’m currently working a 9-5 so it’s very strange they’d assumed I have open availability. This became especially annoying when I was informed three weeks after my final interview that AHA ended up hiring an internal candidate. My rejection email included a request to follow them on social media which doesn’t sit right with me. The interview process did not feel very considerate of my time especially given the fact I was never really being considered for this role, as they were almost certainly going to hire the internal candidate the whole time.
