Well, my wife wasn't offer the job. But kind of cruel what happened.

She did the second interview. They were impressed with the questions she asked them. The regional manager said he liked her questions more than the others they were asked. Both interviewers handed her their cards. Told her not to hesitate if she had any additional questions.

She came back called her staffing company told them she felt she did good and they told her that they would contact the agency Wed or Thurs.

My wife sent Thank You e-mails to the office manager and regional manger for their time interviewing her. The regional manager e-mailed her the next day ( she got the e-mail late afternoon. She had been at a seminar all day.) The regional manager said they would be in touch real soon and that he wanted to know the best time for the third interview which would have been a phone interview which his boss.

She waited to hear All Day Wed and Thurs and she finally got an e-mail from the staffing company telling her there would be no third interview.


She didn't know if she did something wrong or what. She just felt so crush especially after the regional manager e-mailed that question.

Employers often have lousy hiring practices and have no consideration for the people they interview. They probably decided on someone else for any number of reasons and just didn't have the courtesy to tell her in a considerate way. It's just the way they do things these days, unfortunately. Employees (and prospective employees) are treated like office furniture or farm animals. She shouldn't take it personally, though I know that's hard.
