Applied online, received email about setting up a time for a phone interview. Member of the interview team was not very responsive, so I thought we had agreed on a time for a phone interview (she never replied to my suggested time), so I took the time out of my day to be available at that time and she never called.
I get another email from the same contact (second one I received) about them wanting to set up a phone interview. This time, we were able to set up a time and do the phone interview. Basic questions about the job details, my experience, with my experience lining up well with the job requirements. Indicated that she would pass my resume on to the hiring manager and that I'd either here from them or get an email that they've moved on with other candidates.
Never heard anything back. I understand this kind of thing happens, there were two issues I had with the process:
- Be a bit more professional about contacting and setting up phone interviews with candidates. They just didn't seem to have their stuff together with me getting contacted twice by the same person asking about setting up a phone interview, and then when I thought we had agreed on a time for the first phone interview, they never followed up so I wasted my time waiting for them to call.
- Do what you say you're going to do. If you say you're going to get back to me with either an indication the hiring manager is interested in moving forward, or that you've moved on with another candidate, then do that.
