Applied on the website in June, contacted in July, brought in 3 times for 4 interviews over 2 months. Told from the beginning that I was one of the first to be brought in and was contacted by HR every 2 weeks to make sure I was still interested in the position until they could interview all candidates. Made to feel that I was their "best" candidate, so much so that I made the mistake of turning down another position elsewhere, as I really wanted this job. Even made a point of telling the person in charge that I was long term unemployed and how much this position would mean to me and my family, as my unemployment was ending very soon. Told I was a "sparkling" candidate. Then 2 weeks after the last HR communication and 3 months after I initially applied, HR called and e-mailed to let me know they went with another candidate, who was a better "fit" friendship wise, as both of us were qualified. I was devastated.
