I had two interviews for this role, both of which went really well. For the second stage, I was asked to prepare a presentation and design proposal based on a selected brief. I received very positive feedback on both my presentation and design. However, I was ultimately not offered the job because the company decided they wanted a full-time staff member instead of the part time role that they advertised — a detail that wasn’t made clear at the start of the process. It felt inconsiderate of my time and effort to be asked to complete a detailed presentation and design exercise under these circumstances. They asked to keep my details on file for future opportunities, to which I declined.
