Sumitted application via company website. About 1 week later, rec'd a call for phone interview. Phone interviewer real casual and disinterested like she didnt care so much so that I wasnt real impressed with the co at first. She referred me for 2nd in person interview and emailed me personality test webpage, application, credit auth & drug screen releases. I figured give it a 2nd chance maybe the in-person presentation would be better than the phone. Onsite, I met with 3 different managers/supervisors of the dept about the job. They all were friendly and pretty much asked the same questions from a paper script so it wasnt difficult. However, they mentioned in passing that they were also considering internals as well as external candidates. Usually that means chances are slimmer for externals as most companies like to promote from within. Consequently they went with internal candidate. And I had to call to find this out. They emailed me the day after I called. This frustrated me as it wasted my time and theirs. This may have been why they were so flippant during the phone interview -- they knew they had internals candidates in mind but posted the job as a formality.
