I applied online and got a text a few weeks later to call about a phone interview. I tried calling several times but couldn't get through, so I left a voicemail. Two days later, I called again because I hadn't heard back. The person on the phone seemed a bit confused, like she didn't know the text had been sent. She asked what role I applied for, but honestly, it had been so long I couldn't remember. She scheduled me for a phone interview the next day. The phone interview itself went really well; she said I was perfect and my current job was exactly what this role entailed. Then she mentioned the starting salary was €17,000 a year, which is super low considering I make €22,000 doing the same thing now. She said she'd just check with a store manager to set up the next interview, but I never heard back from her.
