The first call with the recruiter was very short, under ten minutes. It felt like they weren't serious about moving forward. Then I had an hour-long conversation with the hiring manager for the next stage. After that, the recruiter stopped responding to my follow-up attempts. I found the experience disrespectful.

I sent in my application a few weeks back and then got an email to do a phone interview. It seemed to go pretty well, and the interviewer asked me about prior experiences working with teams and general details about the job itself. The role involves overseeing a lot of the work of the teams around me. I asked about what comes next, and he mentioned I should hear from him later that week by phone or email. He had a packed schedule with other phone interviews, but he indicated ours went exceptionally well and gave me the impression I might get good news on Friday. However, I later got an email stating they've decided not to fill this position anymore due to updated business needs. It's a bummer because the company seemed like a great place to learn a lot.

- Regarding salary, what are you looking for?
- He asked about my salary expectations, and I shared my previous max earning, noting my flexibility. He mentioned his planned salary would be within that range and likely acceptable to me, though he didn't state a specific figure.

I arranged a phone interview through email. An HR intern emailed me to set it up. Then, I had a phone interview with the Marketing Director. It lasted about 20 minutes, and afterward, she mentioned an HR person would contact me about the outcome. About a week later, I received an email informing me that I didn't get the job.
