After I applied for this entry-level position online, I was asked to complete a writing test that consisted of writing a VO/SOT from an existing news package on the company's site and another VO on another story. Overall, it was a couple of steps and nothing too difficult, but not the easiest. After I turned it in, I was contacted for a Skype interview that seemed to go well. This all took place around the second week of January, and I was told that the company was hoping to make a decision by "mid-February". I stayed in touch with my contact, Irene Marin, throughout the entire process and made sure to follow up and keep myself fresh in her mind. All of my emails were very professional and polite, and they usually got good responses back. 1st week of February: they're still interviewing. 2nd week of February: no decisions yet, someone is out of the country. 3rd week of March: still no decision, and now they have no idea when they'll be reaching a decision. By this point it's been over 2 months since I've interviewed for the job, and I start wondering if "no decisions have been made" means they're unsure they will be hiring at all. I politely inquire whether this is the case and make sure to express that I'm very interested still and appreciate all the correspondence. I'm told the same thing over and over again, with no clarification with what "no decisions have been made". I finally send an email sticking up for myself because I think it's ridiculous that I've been waiting for 3 months not even to know whether they're even hiring anymore. I email my contact again, telling her politely that I need to know whether they're hiring or whether they haven't decided on who they're hiring. I tell her that I mean no disrespect, and I appreciate all her time, etc., etc, etc. I get an incredibly rude email saying the same thing (for about the 10th time) that they haven't made any decisions (doesn't tell me what "decisions" is regarding) and she's not obligated to tell me why. What's more, she goes on to tell me she understands my frustration but to "direct my personal negativity elsewhere." The final line says, "Do not email me and do not call me." Absolutely ridiculous that this woman thinks she can speak to someone in this manner after 3 months of stringing them along, when I was nothing but professional. I had every right to inquire, and I told her I stick by it. Too many employers like her take advantage of people who are desperately looking for jobs and doing everything they can. One of the absolute worst interview processes and people you can deal with. I don't know if this is a representation of the people that work at RTTV, but the woman who interviewed me seemed to have very little respect for me simply because I was the one seeking the job. Beware.
