Showed up early and dressed nice, answered personality question; What would you do in _______ situation? The manager was nice and explained everything.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Beaverton, OR (took 6 days)
I got a phone call from the manager of Burger King (11410 S. W. Canyon Road, Beaverton, (503) 626-6947) on Friday,Oct. 28, that she liked my resume and would like to schedule an interview with me on Tuesday, Nov. 1, at 3:00. When I arrived on Tuesday, a crew member said that the manager was at a meeting and a assistant manager is absent too. Also she said that manager will be interviewing on Thursday. I got the manager sell # and left a message. I didn't get call back and went to this Burger King on Thursday. Assistant Manager said that the Manager is absent , but he promised to call her and advised me to call her too and leave a message, because she does not pick up her phone. Again, I left a message and didn't receive a call back ( today is Nov. 13). As you can see the Burger King is an irresponsible company with absent-minded managers.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Tulsa, OK (took 6+ weeks)
I was contacted by a recruiter from BK to possibly interview for their new position, Operations Coach. The initial recruiter was very positive, very encouraging. After being informed I would move to the next round, I waited several days with no contact. I was then interviewed by someone from their Talent Acquisition group roughly ten days later. She was very pleasant, offering encouraging feedback throughout the interview and affirming each of my responses. She conducted a fairly standard behavioral interview. The questions were all in the format of "Tell me about a time when..." I was told I would be contacted within two days. I did not hear any feedback for a week. I emailed the original recruiter. He responded back immediately that I had been selected to be flown to Chicago for a face-to-face panel interview. My file was then passed on to a coordinator in Kansas CIty who worked with me on travel arrangements. I interviewed with the woman who was the hiring manager and human resources director. The questions were focused on how I would handle certain job situations in the role. I was asked about how I would manage franchisee relationships and how I would grow revenue for the stores. We talked for about an hour and both ladies were very friendly and often used phrases like "Oh, that's excellent," and "very good answer" after each of my responses.
I felt the whole interview went extremely well and they asked me to wait outside while they conferred. After about five minutes, the HR director emerged from the room and said she wanted to get me some interview time with some VPs who were conducting very brief second interviews. She told me as we walked to another conference room to show those two individuals the same passion, energy, and enthusiasm that I displayed in my interview and I would have absolutely no problem making a lasting impression. "That's what was so impressive when we talked to you just now," she told me. She went on to inform me that BK wanted to move very quickly on filling these positions and that individuals who interviewed last week were being made job offers that week, implying a very quick one-week turnaround on being offered a position.
I met with a Regional Operations VP and an HR VP. I asked if the Operations Coach role was one that spent time teaching the culture of Burger King, because I had been studying the BK website and they have a very specific, clearly-defined culture. The HR VP thought it was an excellent question. She was polite and encouraging. She deferred the question to the Regional VP who told me that, yes, while BK has a culture, at the end of the day it's about results and delivering high numbers. All the talk about having open dialogue and listening to one another was all good and well, but all that mattered at the end of the day was results. Bottom line. He seemed a very nice man, but also a very driven man from an old-school leadership style that placed results above all else.
I left Chicago feeling strongly about my chances. Two weeks went by and heard nothing from Burger King. I called the original recruiter who told me that he was frustrated about the whole process because he started out working with one hiriing manager and that is the one he thought I was going to be interviewing with. He was unaware that the company had decided to open up two positions in the Oklahoma market, one going to one leader, the other to the one I interviewed with. He openly expressed his frustration and said I would be hearing from somone in a couple of days. No call came.
A few days later I called again. The recruiter told me that two people had been selected for the two positions. One person accepted the offer, while the other had not accepted the offer and there was an issue with the background check. I cleared background already and was completed. The individual they made an offer to, according to the recruiter, had an issue of concern on his background check and the hiring manager was waiting on that person to complete some important paperwork before deciding to go forward with the offer or extend the offer to me.
"But someone will definitely be contacting me one way or the other to let me know if I'm going to be offered the job or not?" I asked.
"Yes. Definitely." the recrutier said
I thanked him and also said I would appreciate some feedback on my interview because I thought it went extremely well. So, if I'm not considered for the job, it would be beneficial to know what prevented me from getting the offer. He agreed to arrange for that.
That was 16 days ago and I've still heard nothing. I've called again twice since then to follow up and have not had my calls returned. The whole experience left me disillusioned and disrespected. To put someone in a position where they are that close to getting the position, and then not return phone calls to follow up after committing to do was very frustrating.
