What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Hawaii
I had a recent interview with a company for a position for which I was qualified. I thought I did very well in the interview and the last part of it was to show that I could write a report. The instructions for writing the report were to be thorough, concise, articulate, professional; its importance was stressed since it could be used for legal support and executive presentations. I was left alone and began the report writing process. I was told to take 30-45 minutes. As I attempted to complete this report, it became obvious there were several questions that needed to be answered in order to professionally complete the report using the scenario given. Still yet, I began writing the report based on what was in front of me. Upon the interviewer's return to the room approximately 30 minutes later (his demeanor appeared changed, and now seemed agitated, impatient; whereas, previously, he was courteous and patient). I asked about the missing information I needed to be thorough and the interviewer said embellish. I continued with those instructions. Then after about 10-15 minutes later, it was clear he wanted to wrap it up as if he couldn't get me out of there quick enough. He escorted me to the sign out desk and said decision would be made in 3 days, shaking my hand as I extended (he would not even look me in the eyes now--totally different than first greeted). This was about a month ago and I never heard from the company. Of course I was not selected, but I just can't get out of my mind the way the interview ended. It sticks with me and troubles me as to what happened and why. I would like to know if there is any legal way to pursue finding out really what was the cause and why I was not selected, or is it worth it to try? Thanks in advance for anyone's legal guidance. JK
