Started on a professional note and ended in a disaster. After giving a false hope about contacting my referees following an interview, the Assistant did not contact my referees and promptly sent a rejection with zero explanation. It is disrespectful and embarassing to contact your references about a potential call they will receive, which they never do. When I tried to ask what happened, the Assistant was insolent and did not have the basic courtesy to acknowledge the glitch in the process. It is a reflection of how poorly a person can expected to be treated where there is no basic respect in the interview process.
