I had an initial interview on the phone. Then, I was invited into the office to meet the VP. This was a stimulating conversation/interview regarding the latest educational issues where I was told I was the only outside candidate and there were a few inside candidates being considered. I was called back two weeks later to meet the team. After chatting with the VP again, I was able to meet with each team member. Each person was welcoming and friendly. I was told by the VP they were in the middle of reviews and some re-shuffling was occurring and I would hear within two weeks. He also said, "Feel free to contact me at any time should you have any questions." At that point, I had formed a pretty good relationship with him. I had sent him some resources over email to assist the organization in their work and I perceived that he had responded positively. After two weeks, I hadn't heard anything. So, I waited patiently. Four weeks later, I was going out of my mind! I decided to call human resources. All of my calls were ignored! I tried to call the VP. Again, my calls were ignored. I email him, as well as Human Resources... I never received an answer and I never received a rejection letter. At this point, I had already turned down another offer for a job because I did want this job (the VP was aware of this). I even stated in one of my messages to Human resources, "I'd just like to know the status of the position." Isn't it is only good professional practice to inform the candidate whether or not they are still being considered for the position? I did see the job re-posted on LinkedIn. It just would have been nice to receive some form of communication. The entire process lasted five months.
