I had a phone screen with a recruiter. I thought everything went well and I had all the skills required for the position. I was a little concerned about the personal assistant portion of the job, as I had a previous employer who abused this part of the role. Otherwise I thought the job sounded great. I even sent a polite follow up reiterating my interest and clarifying my position on personal assistance - I do enjoy that part of the job, just not when it overwhelms the business side of things. Never heard from them again, not even a polite rejection email. It’s too bad they decided to unprofessionally ghost me, I liked everything I heard and would have enjoyed further interviews. Maybe the boss IS someone who places more value on the personal assistance part of the role.

I had a great conversation with the CEO however I left with the impression that there would be an equal amount of personal assistant responsibilities as there were professional. The conversation was casual and he valued getting to know me versus rapid firing interview questions.
