Had a phone call, followed by a presentation/project, then moved on to an on site interview. I felt good with the phone screen, but when it came time to present a project to the group online we had some technical difficulties. It was awful. They couldn't hear me unless they were on mute and I couldn't hear them unless I muted my end. I also used two monitors so I could see them while I was presenting. I think they must have thought I couldn't see them just because I couldn't hear them. I could see them not actually paying attention during my presentation. They chatted amongst themselves and were on their phones the entire time I spoke. I tried to give the phones issue the benefit of the doubt and told myself they were most likely making notes. Because of how the technical difficulties were handled and the lack of interest when I was speaking, I knew they weren't interested in me as a candidate. Imagine my surprise when they asked me to come on site. At this point, I had already thought about withdrawing myself from consideration formally but thought I would just let it go. I was turned off by the interview process. I came on site with the wrong attitude. I felt like they needed to impress me at this point. They still felt that I needed to impress them. Needless to say it was not a good match and I was not offered a position.

It was a positive interview process all in all, the people I met were very nice and I was given a project to bring to the in person interview. Unfortunately I was not offered the job even though it seemed they were impressed with what I brought to the table. This could be based on lack of previous experience within the buying sector.
