The interview process got off to a great start. I had a really positive chat with the manager, and they wasted no time in sending over a Case Study for me to tackle. When I mentioned I needed to speed things up due to a prior commitment, they were accommodating, which seemed like a good sign. I hustled to get the case study done in record time so I could meet the interview deadline. But then, unexpectedly, they decided I wasn't eligible for sponsorship and called off the interview. I get it, rules are rules. But it felt like they didn't give me a chance to explain my visa situation and offer a solution. I'd even spoken to immigration lawyers who said I was good to go. I understand where they're coming from, but a bit of flexibility would've been appreciated, especially after putting in all that effort. It would've shown they respected my time and dedication.
