I found the interview experience to be quite nice and educational. I submitted my application online around the start of December 2022. Then, I had a phone chat with HR in late January 2023. This was followed by an interview with the hiring manager, which was set up in under a week. Unfortunately, after waiting for two weeks, I received an email saying I didn't get the job.

I got a call to set up a phone interview, which I then had. They mentioned I'd hear back by the end of the week, but after two weeks of silence, I followed up with my HR contact. She apologized for forgetting to reply but let me know there was no job for me. This is actually the second time I've applied for this role at the Zoo; three years ago I made it to the final interview stage, gave them my references, and then again, never heard back until I reached out. It seems like they waste candidates' time. I won't be applying again.

I had a recruiter screening call that went well. The recruiter asked me to tentatively block out time for a potential interview the next week but didn't confirm it. Then, the hiring manager called asking where I was for the 'scheduled' meeting, even though I'd called twice trying to confirm if it was happening. The hiring manager then set up another phone interview for the next day.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- The hiring manager asked some questions about the Learning and Development field and process, which seemed a bit unfamiliar to them.
- Given this was a new position, the hiring manager asked questions that suggested they weren't deeply familiar with the Learning and Development field and process.

So, the interview process was pretty standard, no real curveballs. I met with a panel that included a supervisor and some of the co-workers. They were really nice, but it felt a bit unorganized. After that, the supervisor followed up, but it took a while and was kind of confusing. I had to chase him a few times to figure out the next steps.

- Can you start by telling me a bit about yourself?
