Kind people, but an unprofessional interview process. I was ghosted after a second round interview and received no response when I followed up two weeks later, asking for an update or feedback.

Interview
One of the owners reached out to me, as we had worked together for almost 6 years at a different company. He thought I'd be a perfect fit for this new venture, and the thought of songwriting every day to change peoples lives at an individual level sold me completely. Not to mention, this owner, Rob, is literally one of the most genuine people I've ever met -- made it an easy decision. We talked out details and it all made complete sense to me, so we started rolling to test run and see if I'd be a good fit by trying out a song opportunity. I felt great about it, and he confirmed that it was a hit with the client, and we've had many since!

Question 1
He just asked if I'd considered writing custom songs for people, as opposed to full band songs that i had been used to writing. It would be a change of pace, and he asked if it would be something I'd consider, as he felt I had the talent and resources to do it.
