Flashback Diner interview questions

I applied to this position on another job board back in November 2018. In late January, I received an email out of the blue to set up a phone interview for the next day. The interviewer was friendly, polite and personable; she seemed genuinely interested in my artistic background and experiences. She asked me to create 2 mock-up samples for social media within the next few days and email them back to her along with a link to my portfolio and a cover letter for the company's partners. She also invited me to email her any questions I had and to be as honest as I could with any concerns. When I went to submit my samples, I did bring up a potential concern, but it was not well received. Instead, the next message I got was a 'Thanks but No Thanks' letter letting me know they would not be moving forward with my application. I found the entire 3-month process highly disappointing -- to have expressed such high regard for my work without seeing it through to the end (getting a face-to-face interview) seemed to have been a waste of time and spoke volumes that questions or concerns that go against their norm are not honestly welcomed.

Long and tedious. Met with the owner and Director of Operations and nothing discussed in the interview was accurate or true. They took longer to interview me and decide to hire me than they employed me. I have never been terminated in my entire career, gave two week's notice and was let go in less time than that.
