I applied for a role & interviewed well w/ the Dir & Sr. Dir but for some reason, they wanted me to meet w/ the VP. The interview went terribly 😞…she was disinterested in everything I had to say & was a bit nasty too. Almost like she went into it with a preconceived notion without knowing me. It was very unprofessional🙄

I followed up with the recruiter who said the team decided to go with someone else based on the VP’s feedback (of course). Went on LinkedIn today & the job is reposted😒
