Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Aug 2008 in Brooklyn, NY (took 2 weeks)

Through a recruiter, I received an interview with the Director Marketing of West Elm. The interview went well, but I got the impression that the President of West Elm was very difficult to work for. A couple weeks later, I went in for a second interview with two of the VPs. I find out the person who I thought I was going to work for left the company.

They had the slightest clue what the position entailed and the VPs were kind of grabbing at strings to figure out how to fill the role. I got along nicely with the two VPs and thought the interview went well. With the Director gone, they weren't sure how West Elm was going to go about their e-commerce business and they would let me know.

A couple months went by and still no answer. I finally heard back from the recruiter saying that West Elm pulled the position because of the "rough economic times". This didn't make sense to me because they already had a bare bones system in place for online.
