Very lengthy waiting game. I applied, never heard back. Then a former client of mine referred me to gym management and I immediately started the interview process. It's very much "hurry up and wait." I had an in person interview, then took a few classes to get a feel for their programming and "brand." Then I taught a demo class and got great feedback from the head trainers. Awkward part of teaching a demo class is that there are other candidates applying for the same job in that class, and the hiring team encourages you to stick around to take the other candidates' demo classes. I was under the impression there weren't many candidates applying for the same open position because up until the demo class, it felt very personalized. I was the one constantly following up about next steps, it seemed disorganized from management. I received a verbal "we want to hire you" and what I was told was a final interview with one more staff member. They rescheduled and cancelled my final interview twice. I asked why and they said it was because they had some tenured staff who wanted to take on more classes, so they no longer had availability for me. It wasn't an official "no"...feels like are basically keeping me on the back burner.
