Because I matched all the requirements for the Financial Sales Representative position with Israel Bonds, I applied in May 2018 and was asked to an in-person interview in June with the Assistant Executive Director. I then had two Skype interviews, but I was asked to have another interview with one of their board members at her house, which I accommodated. I was also asked for my references. I did not hear back for two months, so I contacted the Assistant Executive Director, who contacted their HR. I then had another Skype interview with the newly hired Executive Director. I still did not hear back again, so I contacted HR who called me back and told me they were going to pass on me but would not give me a reason. So after five interviews and many back and forth, emails/phone calls: over six months, they decided they were going to continue their search for a better candidate.

I applied on two different occasions for this position. First time I applied online and spoke with the Director of HR over the phone, at this time I was told that I was being considered and heard nothing back. After a couple of years I applied again in person at the regional office. I received a call from the Executive Director, and went for an interview in person. After successfully passing this first interview I was asked to schedule a second interview over the phone with the Director of HR. This is the same person I originally applied with, after the time phone interview I did not receive an offer.
