Specialty Granules interview questions

Behavioral based interview process. One with HR, one with Direction of Finance, one with VP of Finance. Each interview was about 1 hour each and they asked many “tell me a time where you used this skill” type of questions.

The interview process was fairly quick and professional. The personnel that performed the interview were very professional and open to answer any questions that I presented. After about a week I was telephone and told that I was the candidate that they selected for the position and given a verbal salary and potential start date but told I had to wait for the job offer to come through in my email. After about three weeks, and numerous unanswered phone calls, I decided to contact the Maintenance Superintendent and was informed that I was not approved for the position by the corporate headquarters in Maryland. I was told that I had the proper experience, from my time in the Navy's nuclear propulsion program, but that my lack of a degree (somewhat) kept me from getting the job, but I was mainly turned down because I wasn't wiling to relocate to Wisconsin for the job that was listed in Annapolis, MO. First of all, why would I apply for a position in Missouri and be expected to move to Wisconsin? Secondly, why would you call me and tell me that I had the job and give me a potential start date and a salary without having my offer approved through the corporate headquarters.
