I'm not confused that they would interview more than one. It's just that looking at the qualifications, I'm really not even in this woman's league. It doesn't make sense I would make it this far. I'm sure there are a fair share of therapists who are strictly sales now. I just doubt there are many in my age group or with experience similar to mine.
I'm wondering if she was willing to go lower in with the intention of being strictly sales in a few years or less. Her kids are probably grown and either out of the house or don't require as much attention, could probably afford to take a lower salary for a while. I, on the other hand, was looking to get into a situation where my wife could work significantly less.
Kind of makes the VP more of a dick in my eyes for writing what he wrote.
Well they could have been dithering over did they want someone with many years of experience who was more than likely rather set in their ways or did they want a younger, less experienced person that they could mold.
It is not an abnormal decision process. We did the same for our engineering positions. In some cases we hired very experienced and in others were hired less experienced but folks we really liked during the interviews and thought that they had the CAPABILITY to do what we wanted them to do.
The whole experience just kind sucked, however. I'm aware that it happens to everyone, but don't think that makes it right. Again, I'm more upset about the lack of professional courtesy than I am at losing the job. I've lost out on opportunities before. It's the fact that you've showed that YOU cared enough about the process over two months and someone can't take more than five minutes to explain what exactly happened.
It's definitely going to put me on the defensive the next time I interview , which might cost me an opportunity.
It seems like employers like to take advantage of good natured, generally trusting people, but then deny those that are more assertive.

I agree. Lack of common decency isn't so common these days apparently.
I told the VP my current salary, but never the COO. He never asked. I would have guessed the VP would have communicated it to him, but I'm not every sure they every talked/wrote to each other about me.
