Initial HR screening interview followed a script and checked boxes for qualifications. The HR representative mentioned they would send me an e-candidate book to help prepare for the next interviews, but I never received it, even after following up via email. Later, HR asked me to write a paragraph about my last work experience and describe my day-to-day tasks. After submitting my written experience, which I could have shared during the interview, I was selected for the next round with the team. This was a panel interview where multiple team members participated and asked questions. Overall, the experience was okay, but expectations were set that I would be contacted by the HR recruiter directly for follow-up and next steps. However, the day after the interview, I received a no-reply email stating I was not selected for the role. I felt disappointed because I expected a personal update, not an automated email. I reached out to the HR recruiter again but haven’t heard back. In hindsight, this might be a sign that it wasn’t the right place for my next professional adventure.
