I initially had a phone interview that went well, then was asked to schedule to come in to their office the following week. I was praised for my work in the in person interview and was asked many of the same questions as the phone interview but it was nice to see the office/meet the faces. I felt confident leaving the interview and was excited about the role. After the in-person interview, I heard from them in about a week that there was a delay in the hiring process for the position but that I was one of the top 4 candidates. (how exciting!) In about another week I got an email after inquiring on the status, that they would be putting off hiring till January. This was frustrating to me since it was October/early November. Why go through all the trouble without the position being approved or set in stone?. Finally, I emailed again recently in December to wish Happy Holidays and that I look forward to hearing from them in January about the position and was told they are permanently holding off hiring for the position. I don't know if I was deceived in the status of the job the whole time or they truly put off hiring. I have not seen any new photography used on their website, which sucks for them. Disappointed that I had to reach out to find out they put it on hold. Instead, they lead me on for months with a small hope I could possibly have a chance at the job in January.
