Georgia State University Director of Communications, University Library interview questions

Step 1: 1-hour Interview with Dean and three other team members Step 2: 4-hour in-person meeting, which included one meeting with Dean, two multi-person interviews, and presenting a project online to larger library staff Step 3: Calling of references Step 4: 30 min call with GSU VP of Marketing & Communications. In general, the process is consistent with what I expect at a university. I was NOT expecting to be ghosted after all that time and energy. After step 4, I waited about two weeks and heard nothing. When I asked for a status update, I got a generic "we're going with another candidate" email from the generic library HR email account. I am happy I wasn't offered the role after this experience.
