Unprofessional for a company not to follow up properly after interviews. I received what was supposed to be an automated rejection email that was actually an email conversation between staff talking about rejecting applicants-- clearly part of an internal chain. At the very least, have the courtesy to double-check before sending something like that out. Don’t waste people’s time. The position had very limited hours to begin with. Not sure why the role was open when the org probably wasn't financially stable enough to support them properly/pay. The public sector continues to lose value in how employees (including potential ones) are treated. As a candidate who has now accepted an offer from a company that was professional in its approach, I want to emphasize that how you treat interns matters. You never know who they may become in the future... just being fair here.
