My initial interview experience was fine, though it was notably unconventional. The manager approached the conversation in a very casual manner and essentially was saying the role was simplistic and unexciting, which struck me as unusual. The interview questions were basic and lacked depth. Despite progressing to what appeared to be the final stage, I received a rejection email at midnight on a Friday night of the interview, which means it was obviously generated and not sincere in any way. Over the past six months, I’ve applied to five different positions at this company, had an internal connection, engaged with managers, had an interview for one position, completed a take-home assignment for another, and even made an effort to connect via LinkedIn. Yet, despite consistent interest and relevant over qualifications, I received no tangible outcomes from any of these efforts. In the most recent rejection, they noted that I would be a “perfect fit” for a field role—essentially the position responsible for moving and storing the oversized furniture on-site. The feedback felt generic and disconnected from my actual interests and qualifications. It came across as an attempt to redirect candidates seeking corporate roles into operational roles they may be struggling to staff, rather than thoughtfully aligning talent with the right opportunities. This experience has led me to question the company’s culture, hiring process, and overall business ethics—particularly when a qualified and genuinely interested candidate is repeatedly overlooked without meaningful feedback or consideration, despite requesting it. Perseverance, over qualifications, connections and a thoughtful cover letter won't get you far here. Good luck!
