In-person interview with the assistant and the would-be supervisor. The supervisor showed up 30 minutes late, no apologies. Asked the typical interview questions. Then said she was looking for someone who could supervise staff and be super data-saavy and technical when the job posting said quite the opposite. The whole interview made me realize the job posting and the expectations were contradictory. I wrapped up the interview with the interviewer telling me to let her know if I can "change her mind" on me being a good fit for the job but at that point plus her tardiness I was no longer interested.
