I went through three interviews with Hour Media, meeting two managers and the person who previously held the role. I was even given a full tour of the office, which made it seem like I was seriously being considered. After all that, I was told they went with another candidate because they wanted someone with “more experience in email marketing campaigns.” That reasoning didn’t make much sense to me since I already have years of email marketing experience — and honestly, any good company should be willing to train and help employees grow. Overall, the process felt like I was being strung along just to be rejected. Everyone I spoke with was polite, but the lack of transparency and follow-through left me feeling pretty disappointed.
