Fortunately, I never took personal time to interview in Durham, NC. I took extensive time, however, to speak with two of this company’s recruiters. I applied for the position and heard back in three days! I thought that was a great reception.
After speaking with a recruiter two days later I didn’t speak with the other recruiter for another eight days. I have since found out that my candidacy was no longer under review when I spoke with the second recruiter. For some reason, the recruiter either did not communicate with her co-worker or decided to keep me in the dark. Either way, I heard from no representative that I was no longer a candidate for the job. I’m glad I had this experience, because I won’t be applying for a job with them in the future as a result.
Funny thing is, the job is still open and has been for a while. Maybe my experience occurs more than I imagined.
