I applied on Indeed. I was messaged to do two assessments through Indeed. I was messaged again by the hiring department to go give feedback on my assessments. I guess it was satisfactory because I was told to email the CEO, the manager of the department I was applying for and another Account Manager. Scheduling the interview was fairly easy.
The interview was held over zoom due to covid-19. It lasted almost 2 hours. The account manager who was on the video call had to leave it early because of a call with a client. Once the interview was done, I was told I’d find out in a week or less if I made it to the next round to meet with the CEO of the company.
I received an email Thursday saying that I wasn’t chosen because my professional experience didn’t line up with the Jr. Account Manager position. Honestly, that through me threw a loop because I was under the impression that my resume was looked at thoroughly. What made things even more confusing was the person leading the interview admit that in my previous roll, I was doing exactly what the Jr. account manager would have me doing. I’m not sure if it was scenario that they became intimidated by the fact I have an Bachelor of Science Degree in Business and an MBA as well. They work with attorneys and I have been working with them for a while now. So, I wasn’t sure how my past work experience didn’t correlate to the position. And again, being left with no feedback.
Overall, it was a positive experience that turned negative at the end. Getting an email with no feedback as to why I wasn’t chosen was extremely unprofessional.
