Got a call from the recruiter today. She said that technically my skills were right, and the first three people who interviewed me liked me, but they didn’t think that the team personality and my personality were compatible.
OMGWTF??
I got along well with the Production Manager, the HR Manager, and the COO. After two hours of second interview, they brought on a guy named Francisco who was a bit out of sorts (perhaps he’d gotten out of the wrong side of the bed that day) and I suspect that he (he’s their webmaster, ferfuxake! Not even in my line of work!) somehow influenced their decision.
The recruiter didn’t help by then telling me what a difficult place that is for them to get anyone into…they had one guy who was interviewed by 8 people, then was offered a job and turned it down. The company (she said) was a bit immature, trying to become a big company but using small-company methods and not succeeding. It’s not a good idea to run down the company that you sent me to twice to interview.
Anyway, have gotten to the second recruiter and he has sent my CV along to a law firm who is looking for a QA manager. Oh, well, back to square one.
Those of you who are of the praying persuasion, please spare me one. Thanks!
Aww. If they are not intelligent enough to hire you that’s their problem. Hope the next interview leads to something better.
