Got an email from what turned out to be the hiring manager, and NOT someone in HR, which I thought was great. Via email, we agreed to meet three days later. The woman seemed friendly and warm. At the appointed time, again, the woman seemed very friendly. . We met in her office for almost an hour, in a very relaxed environment. We had a professional but very nice conversation. She asked me all sorts of questions and seemed impressed with me. She said she'd get back to me in about a week. I left quite buoyed by the whole experience. I really wanted this job so was very happy.... Later that day I sent her a thank you note and she replied back, wishing me a good weekend. Unfortunately, that was the last time I heard from her. There was NO follow up call or email, as promised. When I emailed her asking for an update, she never replied. I then telephoned, this time asking if I was still a candidate for the position. Again, complete silence. So, it was one of the strangest interview experiences I've had and I am STILL wondering what happened....
