Applied for an online marketing position.
1. Both interview managers were very pleasant. The first primarily explained the job responsibilities in detail, clearly and thoroughly, and answered every question. The manager in the second interview gave the impression of prioritizing efficiency, which is also my preferred working style.
2. The company places great importance on online marketing and data analysis, making it suitable for candidates with strong marketing skills and graphic design abilities.
There was no follow-up after the interview, so I assumed I had not been selected. Then one day, I suddenly received a phone call that opened with: “Why didn’t you come to work...?”
The other party (presumably HR?) insisted that they had sent an email and called to notify me... I am absolutely certain that I did not receive either the call or the email. After checking my inbox carefully afterward, I was also certain that it had not gone to my spam folder. Did they contact someone else???
Even if I had been hired, they should have received a response from the job applicant first. Opening with “Why didn’t you come to work?” was truly baffling.
I initially had a good impression of this company, but then something like this actually happened... (helpless)
