    They hired somebody from inside - and all the interviews were just mandated by the FCC. They already knew who would get it.

    Oh dear.

    I'm sorry to hear this. I have been sent through the wild goose chase too, and have seen this kind of faux postings where I work. An employer has someone in the company for the position but has to go through the dance of posting the ad and conducting interviews. It's a waste of everyone's time and money. Now if I go to an interview, I would ask if they are interviewing anyone within the company. If they say 'yes' or volunteer that info, then I know I have zero chance.

    Wow that's really shitty, and absolutely it's their loss. I feel pissed on your behalf really. But there's nothing you can do but push on and as someone else said everyone here is in your corner.

    As I said previously, I have been there....same friggin' situation. It sucks, but it's like the old cliche says: "When one door closes, another one opens". If that's the type of company they are, you didn't need to be in that mess. Something better will come along.....still sending you positive thoughts.

    I know how discouraging this can be, but in the end they were the ones who missed out. Everything happens for a reason, so something better is coming your way. Just make sure you are ready when it arrives, or as Dave said "God guides us on our journey, but be careful with those feet".

    Sounds like a government hiring process. By law they're mandated to announce the job opening and interview at least 5 people, but half the time the person they actually hire is the one they intended to in the first place. Or sometimes they just hire the person first, THEN put out the announcement, and get around the fake interviews, if they can call it an "emergency hire".

    That's not how we do things here in Hell, of course. Jobs here are for eternity, so we take it a little more seriously.

    Clearly their loss. Hang in there Shoes and keep after the search!!

    There's a job out there that will fit right for you and company that hires you. Odds are this one you didn't get wasn't the right one to begin with...

    Sorry Shoes - that sucks. Fucked up that they get your hopes up and put you through all of that for nothing. I'm with all of the others here in your corner. Hopefully you'll be doing the victory dance soon.
    Stay Frosty!
