I applied online and was contacted very quickly to discuss the position.
The initial conversations were very pleasant and the position sounded interesting.
An in person interview was scheduled shortly after and it was a panel discussion with the department manager and two members of the team.
Again the conversation flowed nicely but it did appear as though there were holes in my expertise and what they position needed.
It was at this point that I could tell there was a discrepancy between what skills were actually needed and how they were being communicated by the department manager.
I continued through the follow-up process and was told that I was to be scheduled to meet more members of the network team and the division manager.
I followed up numerous times to only be told that there were scheduling conflicts as people were on vacation.
After that I never received any response to any follow-up calls or voice mail.
I think it is unfortunate that a simple email saying "we don't think you are qualified" could be extended as a common courtesy. This is especially unusual since the conversations were so cordial and polite.
