While I always appreciate the opportunity to interview, this particular experience was disappointing. Despite being actively recruited via LinkedIn, the interview lacked structure and was filled with interruptions, including repeated doubts about how I’d compare to other candidates—despite my relevant background. It became clear that the interviewer was new to hiring for an EA/PA role, which she later confirmed. Although I remained professional and we ended on a positive note, I never received a follow-up as promised. In hindsight, I believe it wasn’t the right fit for either of us — and that’s okay. However, the hour-long interview time was very unnecessary.
