I applied for a role with the Office of Teacher Recruitment. They mentioned it was a new team and they were hiring for multiple roles. My interviews happened months ago, even before the job was posted publicly. They said that as a government agency, they have to look at all qualified candidates before making a decision. While I get the need for transparency, it felt unfair to candidates like me who invested time and effort applying weeks or months prior. If that's the process, recruitment should happen all at once so everyone has an equal shot. I think this department was swamped trying to build a new team quickly. But honestly, some basic communication about where I stood in the process would have been good. When I asked for an update, they said they had too many responses and would let me know my status within a week, which was back in mid-September. I recently followed up again and still nothing! It felt really unprofessional.

This was the most unprofessional experience I have ever witnessed. They were late for the interview, and everything was done via email with numerous emails back and forth. Some things can and should be done via phone.
