I had seen this position posted for many months and finally decided to apply. I asked them why the position had been reposed so many times, but no clear answer was given.
I first was screened by HR, then scheduled to interview with the hiring manager. I did not feel that the hiring manager and I connected in our meeting and was not surprised I did not make it further in the process and was somewhat relieved, as I may have reconsidered myself as an interested party after our meeting
