So I didn't get the job that I applied for. But in a weird twist the team leader for the role who interviewed me is leaving the organisation this week. She asked if we could connect on Linkedin as she thought i had a lot to offer and wants to keep me in mind for roles that come up at her new employer. So i guess that is a win.
Hmm could it also be that that was probably not a good workplace for you and so she rejected your application but kept you in the loop for future roles?
Possibly. I don't think ultimately the final decision was hers to make but the CEO's as he was on the second round interview with her. I don't think the CEO was too keen on me by the end of the interview but I think if it had been up to the team lead I may have gotten it. Based on some of the reviews of the organisation on Glassdoor, the CEO seems to be quite controlling and a lot of people leave because of him. So i probably dodged a big bullet
Hopefully it works out with the TL mate
