The interview process was strange. They had two positions open, and I interviewed with an HR person first. About three weeks later, I got a call back from the HR person who said the managers for both positions wanted to interview me. Sounds like it was in the bag, right? The interviews seemed to go well, and the interview for the position I was most interested in seemed to go great. The other one was not as good, but I was less interested in that one, so no problem there. I was told I'd hear back soon, and then I didn't. Then I didn't for another few weeks, and then by the fourth week, I went ahead and emailed them. Maybe not the best choice, but I'd kind of been led to believe that I had this one by the person I'd been in contact with. I made it to the second interview, both managers wanted to talk, they'd seen my previous work, and overall it seemed like everything was going well. I was even getting responses to thank-you emails which pretty much never happens!
Turns out, it wasn't going well at all. After I emailed them back, I got the message that they had decided to go with other candidates. Ouch, but fair enough. Job hunting sucks, but you do get kind of used to the rejections. Then a little bit later, the same job posting got posted on some other job boards. I can't imagine I was the only person who made it to the second interview, so I guess they went through and interviewed a whole group of people, and then decided not to hire any of them. Either that or they're testing applicant pools from different job boards. Whatever they're doing, it seems a tad fishy to me, so at this point, I think I may have dodged a bullet.
