It was a disappointing experience. I reached the final interview at their office, only to be told by the director that I was unsuccessful before the interview even began. The reason given was a newly added requirement: native proficiency in Chinese—a criterion that was never mentioned in the job advertisement, phone screening, or previous interviews. The entire process took nearly two months, which reflects poor planning and a lack of consideration for candidates’ time. Additionally, the second graduate I spoke with was unprofessional, he was texting on phone multiple times during our conversation without excusing himself. If he needed to communicate with the director about my language skills, it could have been done in a more respectful and professional manner.
