The recruitment process has been quite perplexing, as I have found myself uncertain about the specifics regarding the hiring manager and the department's objectives. It raises the question of who they are truly looking to hire, and I wonder if there is already a candidate in consideration, which could render the job posting misleading. What began as a promising opportunity in begining of the year has resulted in disappointment after waiting until 5 months more for a decision. I believe there could be improvements in the communication and arrangement processes within the team. It is essential to approach the hiring process with careful consideration. Avoid presenting proposals that may unnecessarily consume candidates' valuable time. This practice can foster a sense of insecurity regarding the potential for one’s ideas to be appropriated. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
