judecorpI am so confused with this whole jobhunt process.
I gave a follow up phone call to the program director type person that I spoke to on that really positive phone interview from last week. I was immediately off-put because the woman began flubbing words and acting really weird, putting me on hold for long periods of time and then stating she needed to "check on something." She also sounded quite nervous when I said I was just "checking on things."
Eventually she came back and stated that she had spoken to so many people that she'd forgotten who was who, and that she was looking for the resumes that she passed on to her Director. She said she wasn't positive, but was pretty sure mine wasn't one of the ones she passed on.
WTF? This is the same woman who told me on the phone that she was passing on four resumes and mine was definitely going to be one of them. I am so freaking confused by this. I suppose it's possible that she's mistaken and she /did/ pass my resume on, but since she sounded so flustered (and since I haven't heard anything from the Director) I'm inclined to doubt it.
People doing interviews are /so/ weird. Why on earth would you tell someone that you were definitely recommending them to the next level if you weren't sure, or had no intention of doing so? Argh!
