Interview
I was called for an interview after I called HR and inquired about the status of the resume, which I had submitted two weeks prior. The interview itself was different from the standard; two directors asked questions, and requested that the answers be provided in terms of experience.
At the conclusion, I was told that interviews would conclude the following week, and that all interviewees would be contacted, regardless of outcome. That was a month ago, and I heard nothing. Very unprofessional.
