I applied on the company website and within the day I got an automated email asking me to schedule a day for an interview. There were not very many options available so I picked the following Tuesday. Since I lived out of town I created travel arrangements to arrive the day before and stay in a hotel. I arrive the Monday before the interview and received a call at 5pm from HR informing me that they had already filled the position on FRIDAY. They had days of opportunity to inform me of this but they chose to call me late evening the day before the interview. What's funny is that Monday morning (at 3 AM) I received an automated email confirming my interview for the following day. Yet they call me that evening telling me the position has been filled 3 days ago.

I sent in my applications a couple days before I heard back asking for an interview. The interview went well, the hiring manager kept emphasizing the amount of physical labor the job involved which I was aware of going in. Basic interview questions were asked mostly. It wasn't exactly the job I wanted though so I wasn't too upset to hear I didn't get the job.
