I got an interview in early February, but before I had a chance to demonstrate true potential, they decided to postpone the process — putting a hiring pause on hiring to “re-evaluate” their needs. A few weeks later, they finally reopened the position and contacted me, and after reading my application, they realized that I was not the type of person they were looking for at all. Frankly, it seemed like the candidate they chose had some advantages—advantages that I lacked.
