Dear Mrs. Principal,
As a recent interviewee with your school, I am writing to express my displeasure at the way in which the hiring process was conducted. Several weeks ago, I flew to Burlington for a weekend, at my own expense, to interview with you for the position of middle school math/science/technology teacher. Just before the conclusion of the interview, you assured me, "We won't keep you waiting. We'll let you know within the next week."
When a week passed without word on the status of the job, I called St. Joseph school and left a message with the secretary. After two days, my message was unreturned, and I called again, this time leaving a message with the school's answering machine. Again, my call was not returned.
Today, nearly three weeks after the interview, I was "notified" that I was not hired only when I happened to see the change in status of my application on schoolspring.com. To date, I have not heard from a human being.
Because I spent valuable time and money from my very limited budget in order to travel and interview for the job, and because of your personal assurance that you would follow up, I am disappointed that no one from the school ever notified me of the decision that was made. While I am certainly aware that other candidates may have been more qualified for the position, I feel as if I was nonetheless treated quite unprofessionally.
Luckily, a betteremployment situation has come along.
Slightly un-sincerely,
Rebecca M. Walter
