I didn't end up getting the role. The recruiter was representing both myself and the other candidate and she said she honestly believed they made a mistake. I've been running a team of 25 IT staff and doing project work, stakeholder management and client management. Apparently they felt like I would struggle being a one man team....
Ah well, onwards we march.
But to be honest it was a punch in the guts. Hopefully now that people are coming back from annual leave next week, things will speed up a bit.
Been there and done that in a similar type of role. Did you get to interview stage?
Yeah I got to the final stage. It gets tiring honestly. 4 sets of interviews including the initial one with the recruiter. Wears you down.
Ah I'm sorry to hear that. I got down to the last 2 a few years back and they went with the internal candidate... It definitely wears you down.
