Job Position Filled?
I had an interview about a week ago, and I felt it went really well. A few days later, the area manager called to invite me for a second interview, expressing a strong interest in bringing me on board. We scheduled to meet on December 5th. However, coordinating this has been challenging since our schedules overlap, so I’ve had to adjust my break times accordingly.
Today, I received an email stating that the position has been filled. Has anyone else experienced this?

It sounds really frustrating to receive that news after your positive initial interview and the follow-up. It’s not uncommon for companies to continue interviewing candidates even after they think they have a preferred choice, so it’s possible that they moved quickly on another applicant. Some companies don’t always communicate timelines clearly, which can lead to situations like this.
I would recommend reaching out to the area manager to express your disappointment and to ask for feedback or clarification. It could be helpful for your future applications. Don’t get discouraged—it’s often a numbers game, and the right opportunity will come along!
