Family First Life Customer Service Advisor interview questions

Called on 4 occasions to interview at 4 different dealerships. Each time was told they were moving forward and starting background checks only to have crickets weeks later and then eventually after pressing they had hired someone else. Be honest just say no instead of stringing people along. Flew across the country for one of the interviews due to their request to have them again say after silence hired someone else. Yes they knew I was flying in just for the interview !
