Behavioral Presentation
I went through the interview process for a Commercial Manager position at EDF. The interview itself was about an hour long and I met with the Senior Commercial Manager and the Commercial Director. Things went really well and about two weeks later, I got a verbal offer which I accepted. They said a formal offer letter would come later. I had already told them upfront that I needed Skilled Worker sponsorship, and they said they would sponsor me if I paid for the NHS surcharge and visa costs, which I agreed to. But then, a week after accepting, they suddenly rescinded the offer, claiming they couldn't provide sponsorship anymore. They didn't give a clear reason and stopped responding to my follow-ups. This sudden change after confirming sponsorship was pretty unprofessional and disappointing, especially coming from a big company like EDF. It really makes you wonder about their internal communication and how they handle candidates.
