      Event Manager Interview

      20 Jul 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Washington, DC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at ESA (Washington, DC) in May 2018

      Interview

      This definitely wasn't going to be a bad review, if you'd asked me even a month after the interview. After applying (via email with resume and cover letter), I got a very kind response from an HR coordinator, an initial interview, and another conversation with a higher-up HR rep. They seemed very passionate and happy in their environment, which was a great sign! A major event was coming up on (date X), so they let me know the full extent of future steps and that I likely wouldn't hear back before (date X). I sent a thank-you note, and then a quick check-in to send my best wishes for the event on (date X). Heard nothing back for two weeks, so I figured that was enough time to call the office without being pushy. I got the same HR rep on the phone, who said they might have already sent out offers but she didn't know (!!), and promised she'd call back, but never did... I'm a bit too embarrassed for them to keep calling to get a straight answer. I believe it was a delightful conversation and they were nice and polite to begin with, but have to give a neutral-to-negative review-- there is no excuse for ghosting candidates, and more people should speak up about the disrespectful practice. I applied even after hearing the complaints of friends who run many teams that sponsor ESA industry events, hoping I might be helpful with making positive changes happen for them, in a field that I love where I could sink my teeth into govt. event protocol, education initiatives, and large-scale logistics. Instead I got a lesson in how right they were and how unlikely things are to change, unfortunately. It's a bad indicator of the quality of their communications priorities and interconnectedness within their network. I truly believe that if one asks for the time of a candidate, they should at least be respectful enough to let them know if they're still on the hook. I hope their processes improve soon.
