The interview process was more of a conversation than a standard Q&A with the owner of the company, Anthony. During the interview, he spoke about wanting to give the new hire standard day to day operations stuff so he can focus on creating new content. He didn't care what products he sold or where they came from as long as they could sell. He wasn't sure of the direction he wanted to take the company and what it would sell. With this said, I didn't necessarily think it was a bad thing since companies need to be a little more versatile these days. The interview went longer than expected (over an hour) and we really hit it off! The interviewer went as far as to tell me he wanted me to come back and interview with his wife, even asking me if I was going to continue interviewing at other places in the mean time! Three weeks after the initial interview and multiple emails later (sent by me) asking for the follow up interview that he had wanted to schedule with his wife, I was told that they decided not to fill the position at all and aren't onboarding any new hires. The owner of the company should have known about wanting to hire someone, he shouldn't have made promises of a second interview, and he shouldn't have kept someone on the hook for several weeks through multiple email conversations. I had gotten really great vibes from the company but ultimately, the owner doesn't know what he wants, what he needs, what he wants to sell, the direction he wants to take the company or even being on the same page as his wife and partner in the business.
