Initial interview with HR was straight forward. Was told I made it to the next round aka the writing assessment. Didn't hear back so followed up 2 days later. Was told they went with a different candidate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have experience with paid social media marketing?
First interview the HR person forgot she had an interview and never showed up. So I did them a favor and scheduled a second interview knowing full well I would never work for a company comprised of amateurs. 650 employees and only $100m in top line annual revenue?
