I was recently asked to apply for a different job that I had originally applied for earlier. Is it common for a company to change job description and requirements midway through an interview?

I don't think it's that uncommon. Maybe they already filled the position you applied for but they had something else for you in mind. I would just apply and hope for the best.

That sounds really weird to me. I haven't had that happen but that doesn't mean it is uncommon. I would apply and see what happens.

It’s happened to me before. It was meant to be an internal transfer and started off very good and then hiring manger decided they needed to change the job requirements and they got someone else.

Yes, it happens more than people think. Sometimes teams refine what they actually need during hiring and try to match candidates to a better fitting role.

It happens more than people realize. Sometimes the business need evolves, sometimes they realize the original scope was off. The important question is whether the new role is clearly defined and aligned with what you want before continuing.

This is the only bowl I can think to post in, but I'm really feeling it today. Has anyone lost their best friend (i.e. through time/growing up) and feel like none of their current friends could live up to the fun/connection you used to have with your high school BFF? I feel like I put too much focus on that one friend and also my boyfriend and just never actually made time for anyone else. I fucked myself over.
