I applied for a Chief of Staff position, but during the interview, I was informed that the role I applied for didn’t actually exist. Instead, I was told about how the company operates and the rates they provide, which felt irrelevant to my application. Despite my extensive experience, I was categorized into a much more junior role, offered a low-ball salary, and informed it would be part-time—none of which matched my expectations or the effort I put into the application process. The process itself was unnecessarily lengthy, involving multiple steps like Google Form quizzes, which didn’t seem aligned with the seniority of the role. The interview was also extremely informal, lacking the professionalism one would expect for a position of this level. Overall, it was a frustrating and disappointing experience.
