glesn's journey

I recently went through a phone interview for a part-time Medical Assistant role at an urgent care facility. The interviewers seemed very impressed with my qualifications and scheduled me for an in-person interview. This morning, I attended the interview, and by the end, the interviewer expressed enthusiasm about bringing me on board, even mentioning a start date within the next week. However, just a few hours later, I received a text stating that an internal candidate from another location had accepted a full-time position, which meant they no longer needed a part-timer. I found this situation quite strange and disappointing. Has anyone else experienced something similar?
