I applied online via LinkedIn before christmas and received two phone calls saying I had been invited for an interview which would now take place in the new year as the individuals conducting interviews were on christmas break I had my interview at 9am (which is earlier than most work meetings I've had) and it last 45 minutes. At the end of the interview I was told that a decision would be made and I should hear something by the end of the week. At the end of the week I received an email informing me that they have decided to extend the deadline for applications and that they would be in touch within a few weeks with an update. At this point I decided to withdraw my application for the role. I then received a reply saying thanks for letting them know and it was nice to meet me, I guess from that response I wasn't considered a contender for the position.
