Thanks for your insight on how much experience means to the company in hiring. Wish I knew that prior to the Panel Interview. I would have made a business decision on whether to attend or not. What you said is pretty much validated. I am a career professional in the CPG Industry, worked for the most recognizable- reputable companies in the industry and the job has the same responsibilities as my previous one. It would have been a seamless transition. I answered all the questions clear and concised. No offer. I was shocked, to say the least. You would think a company would see a need for someone who can hit the ground running and deliever immediate results. I guess i was wrong.
