Contacted by owner of the company with interest in talking to me. Surprised by call as I had sent a resume to them 2 YEARS prior (tells me they are very organized). 1 on 1 was very relaxed, interview was very open and was more of a talk/discussion. Small Commercial Construction (also Residential Construction) company who has survived this economic downturn and especially the devastation to the housing industry over the past 3-4 years. Owner was very pleasant and open to questions, interview was not a typical cold (at times interrogation style) interview where the interviewer is the only one asking the questions. Was a Q&A/back and forth, none of the odd psychological/personality type questions that are asked at times. Simply said was not a generic interview where the interviewer asks questions obtained from Interviewing 101 or Interview for Dummies. After the 1 on 1 was told of his upcoming plans and when to expect to hear from him. Owner contacted me, as stated, later in the week where I answered a few brief questions. Did not obtain a job offer for reasons that I am fairly confident in knowing. Even though it was mentioned in both discussions as a non-issue for myself, I believe one of the reasons for not getting an offer was due to me being overqualified for the position. This along with another item he was concerned about, I believe, are the reasons for the non-offer. Unfortunately for those of us who are employees this is an employer market and they have their pick from a much larger pool than they may have had in the past, especially in the construction industry. Was also unfortunate that the reasons for the non-offer (the reasons I believe to be the determining factors) were both items that are positives. The only disappointing thing I could say would be the abrupt disconnect. Meaning the 1 on 1 interview went well, the phone conversation went well and prior to ending the phone conversation I was told to expect a phone call later in the week. After a few days of not hearing back from them, I contacted their office and left two messages. Never heard back from anyone. Having been an interviewer myself I feel it would have been professional to call back as was stated, even if only to notify the interviewee that the decision was made to go a different direction. Nevertheless it does not change my overall positive opinion and understand with a small company employees and owners have to wear multiple hats at times and can make your work day extremely busy. Especially since the open position is a vital position for the company to function and not one that sit in limbo while waiting from someone to fill it.
