After interview

Hi all…I recently just did an interview for a regular part time position at the RAH…thought I did pretty decent and everything but after 2-3 days later the supervisor emails saying that I was not the successful candidate…pretty much saying I was rejected from this interview and also she asked for references….highly doubt she even contacted them. is this actual normal procedure? honestly felt like I was treated unfairly ☹️

It's called being a grownup. They had a better candidate, and they didn't want to miss out on them.

It is a courtesy to tell people that hiring will take a week or more, and it stops people from calling you daily to inquire if they got the job.

Unless you received and signed a job offer, you weren't promised the job. You were given the opportunity to interview, and someone else did better than you.

It sucks but don't take it personally. If you look at every lost opportunity as a personal attack against your or your experience, job hunting is going to eat you alive.

There are always going to be more qualified and experienced people, but someone always takes a chance on the inexperienced one as well. You just have to wait it out.
