- 1:1 teams interview with the recruiter. She was so kind and made me feel comfortable. I wasn't meeting the requirements, but she gave me an opportunity to proceed to the next step of the hiring process. At the same time, I informed her that I was currently working for another company.
- She gave me endless material to study for Google ads and social media, and I had to write content for 3 posts for Instagram and then a test on Google ads. I took 2 days off from my current work because it was impossible to study everything for the test within 5 days. I completed everything, and I was waiting for my test results.
- I had to send an email for feedback after a week as it felt that she would "ghost" me.
- She came back to me and asked me if I was interested in the social media manager position, and she gave me a week to think about it and answer back. I answered after 2 days and accepted the offer, and I agreed to proceed to the 3rd step of the interview (interview with the hiring managers).. 2 months have passed, and I am still waiting for an answer.
If I am not a good candidate, please save time for both of us. Don't waste my time if you know from the begging that you won't hire me. For the recruiter, it is a typical day at work, but the candidates must invest their time and energy. Just say NO. We deserve better.
