A few different zoom interviews with various managers. They want to get to know you and ask a lot of questions. After two interviews, they wanted my to meet with the director.
Since she was on vacation they had me meet with another manager. The interview went so well that she basically told me that she loved me and hoped to get back to me with good news in a few hours.
She immediately called me back to apologize and say that I do need to in fact meet with this director before they could make a decision. I then scheduled a 4th interview with the director that had to be rescheduled twice because of her vacation.
When I finally interviewed with the director, she was downright nasty to me. She spent the entire time interrogating me about every gap in my resume and questioned my loyalty because Of a temp job that did not extend the program. In between some jobs, I have taken a little bit of time off to travel a couple of times in my career, but nothing unusual. She really ripped in to me about my last lay off, which was of course do due the coronavirus. When it was my turn to ask questions, she replied with a sharp “what do you think?” When I expressed a desire to grow, she acted like I was impatient and questioned my loyalty some more. When the call was over I was truly taken aback at how rude and unprofessional she was to me, let alone in such a difficult and vulnerable time for Candidates. Her team of management had spent a lot of time and effort talking to and presenting me and she just came and shut me right down.
The next day I got an automated rejection email from the recruiting coordinator.
