I was contacted by a very friendly person who was excited about me. I came in for my first interview and, having been actively interviewing for four months, thought it was the best interview I'd ever had. I thought I had nailed it. I then get a phone call from HR to say I hadn't got the job. I asked why and they said they did not know. I pushed for feedback, stating that it was important for me to have feedback since I was seeking employment and since I would've thought I had definitely landed the job. HR said they would ask and get back to me. A week went by and I considered sending a critical email to HR as I had never NOT been given a reason as to why I wasn't the right fit. The next day I got a call from HR that the interview had gone well but that they were interested in hiring me for a different position. I was excited and asked for the job description. Several days went by and I hadn't received the job description. The day before the interview I called and stated I had no idea what I was interviewing for. They then emailed me a job description for a position I was extremely over-qualified for and one that I would definitely not be interested in. I considered canceling the interview but figured it would be good practice for my continued job search. At the interview I met a fantastic person but quickly told her I was over-qualified and uninterested in the job description. She said "what job description?" I showed her what HR had sent me and she said "oh this is definitely not the job." So in the interview I learned what the actual job was, which was very different than the job description. I did end up accepting the job, but only because of the incredible person I interviewed with. She hired me at far too low of a salary, but promised to fix it if I stayed and made good on that promise within six months. This was seven years ago and that fantastic person has now had most of her reportees taken away from her and the company is performing poorly financially.
