    I cannot lie, experiencing that was very discouraging and I feel upset at even going in the first place as I did not receive the respect a potential hardworking new hire should have. I was looking forward to today and am bummed that I was some afterthought, as I was told that he was unaware of my interview. I hope for the sake of future potential hires there's more professionalism because this was really demoralizing and I'm left wondering if I was
