I almost spent 0.5-2 hours for all the time they asked me for interviews. 1) Hiring agency Interview 2) Online Test 3) Interview with CEO 2) Presentation assignment for CEO 3) interview with CEO(which was rescheduled thrice and two times I waited for almost 2 hours) I gave them references too when they asked for it. It was a week after the last interview, so I asked them about the status and they told me that they are not moving forward with me. I almost had 6-7 steps that I took to get this rejection for one single post. I also found out that they had hired for this same post already 2-3 months back and she went through training period to get appointed for this post 1-2 week back, the same time I was being interviewed. (I might be overthinking)

Whew. I don't think I've ever left a review before, but this was a doozy. Was contacted by the recruiter. Did the personality tests, was told I did great. I was asked to interview the same day. I don't usually do this, but I didn't have anything to do, so I agreed. We got on a call later that night and I had a technical issue. When we got started, he was extremely, overly concerned with the amount of money my last position made. The company shut down last year and laid me, my sister, and everyone else off after MONTHS of crap and garbage, and I hate talking about it. I tried to steer the conversation away from that and onto things that mattered (my skillset, for example), but he just kept asking me about the revenue and clients. I had to try and find more and more positive things to say about a position that ruined my life. Hey, I don't know exactly how much we were making! Hey, I don't know how my boss got away with charging so much for the services. THE JOB SUCKED. It was horribly run. I almost gave him her number so he could talk about revenue and services with her instead. The company has been shut down, the site is down, it's all defunct. I had other experience on my resume we could have discussed, but he was OBSESSED with that one job and knowing how we made money. I have no idea what got into him. I stayed on because I thought, eh, the old site is down so maybe he's just trying to make sure it was an actual business? Or maybe he didn't believe I'd actually worked there? Why not move on to another position, then, or just tell me I didn't qualify because he was suspicious? In a typical situation, I wouldn't have dealt with it at all and would've just closed out the meeting and moved on. It was the most confusing and awkward interview I've ever been through. I don't think he asked me anything that had to do with the actual job.
