I recently withdrew from a part-time administrative position interview process with a company after feeling increasingly uncomfortable with the way things were going. It all started with a 20-25 minute Zoom interview where they mentioned the possibility of the role being full-time, which was concerning since I had applied specifically for part-time work. Then came the in-person interview, and it was a disaster. They forgot about my appointment, weren't prepared, and I had to provide my own resume. What was supposed to be a 50-minute interview turned into two hours, during which the person I would work for kept interrupting me while I was trying to answer questions. The associate I spoke with gave me unsolicited warnings about the work environment, advising me not to answer my phone after hours and emphasizing the need for strict boundaries. This was a huge red flag for me. After being sent an assessment that took me several hours to complete—far longer than the 'less than an hour' they claimed—I decided this wasn’t the right fit for me. I sent a polite email withdrawing my application and explained my reasons. Since then, they have been relentless in trying to get me to reconsider, calling, emailing, and texting me repeatedly. I even sent another message clearly stating my decision was final and that I was not available for further discussions. Yet, they called again the next morning, prompting me to block their number. Now, I just received another email from them. While they have been complimentary about my candidacy, their persistence after I've withdrawn has made me extremely uncomfortable. Has anyone else experienced this kind of situation with an employer?
