I applied to the role via an online job listing and received an interview invitation within the hour (scheduled for 4 days later). I was not initially impressed with the company; their website was poorly put together and maintained and when I arrived, I was shown into a messy, warehouse-like room. I was around 25 mins early to the interview, but my primary interviewer nevertheless seemed unprepared (I should hope that any interviewer would prepare more than 25 minutes prior to meeting with me) and, after around 15 mins of waiting time, had to go over my CV again. I was interviewed by two people, who seemed affable, but did not really ask me many questions about my skills or experience. The main interviewer seemed to fixate on one of my earlier, smaller work experiences for some reason, despite my having since completed a comprehensive training course with a major regional publication in that industry, which I kept having to redirect attention towards. This made it seem as though I was not being listened to/the interviewer did not fully grasp what some of the items on my CV signified, despite their being in a related industry. The interview was slightly more casual in tone than others I have attended for similar roles, which put me more at ease, though I had to fend off a question of the "Where do your family come from?" variety, which was irrelevant, presumptuous and slightly inappropriate. I was also asked to name a salary - always an awkward topic for a young jobseeker who doesn't want to undersell themselves but nevertheless feels pressure to do so to secure an entry-level position. Helpfully, one of the interviewers advised me to heighten my baseline. Incidentally, the position had been advertised as an assistant position suitable for graduates, but it soon became apparent that the company did not have a social media department/staff at all, and were expecting the candidate to take on an overwhelming variety of tasks (not mentioned in the job ad) with almost total self-sufficiency, with little in the way of an anticipated learning curve. In fact, one of the interviewers let slip that the last person in the role had quit after a single day due to its difficulty. He tried to reassure me by stating I was more experienced, but the anecdote did not instill me with confidence about the company's approach to new employees or training and development. After the interview (which lasted around 30-45 mins), I was shown around the company's product range and given a catalogue, which was helpful, if a little boring. I was told there would be a 2nd-stage interview with the company owner if I was successful. This had not been mentioned previously, and was somewhat frustrating as the location was not the most easily accessible of places to me (around an hour's drive away one-way and planted in the middle of nowhere) and no recompense was mentioned. Nevertheless, I accepted a further invitation (sent 3 days later) to meet with the head of the company the following week. The 2nd interview was briefer and one-on-one. The owner came across quite warmly. Again, few experience or skill-based questions were asked; the owner talked more about the business and its achievements than he did inquire after mine, which was moderately concerning. The questions he did ask were more conversational in focus (Can you tell me a bit about yourself? What's your life's passion?) that could be a little tricky to answer due to their personal focus. I was told to expect a response by the following Monday (4 days later, so quite quickly). And, while communications had appeared quite prompt up till then, Monday passed without answer. As did the next day. And the next. I contacted my primary interviewer (who had acted as my first point of contact) around 10 days after the forecasted response time, politely asking if a decision had been reached. This was ignored. I never heard back, and could only assume I had been unsuccessful. I found this grossly unprofessional, especially given the fact the company were aware I had made two round-trips (at 4+ hours travel time in total) to meet with them, had reached the final stage and had been given a specific response time. To respond to a prospective employee because you anticipate they will be able to make money for you and then throw common courtesy out the window as soon as that prospect passes is disappointing and reflects poorly on the company's approach to business.
