I had a frustrating experience this week while interviewing for a project manager/coordinator role. On Monday, I had a recruiter phone call that went well, and she mentioned she would send my CV over for consideration. By Wednesday, I was contacted by the hiring manager to schedule a phone interview for Thursday, which I confirmed. However, later that evening, I received an interview invite for a Teams meeting, which confused me because the recruiter had indicated it would be a phone call. I wanted to clarify the format of the interview, so I emailed the hiring manager to confirm whether I should prepare for a phone call or access the Teams link. Unfortunately, I didn't receive a response before the interview. Then, just two hours before the scheduled time, I received an email canceling the interview along with a standard rejection letter citing a high volume of applications. I can't help but wonder if my request for clarification was perceived negatively or if they simply filled the position before my interview. This was a new experience for me, and I'm trying to not overthink it too much, reminding myself that maybe this job just wasn't meant to be.
