Northeastern University Administrative Assistant interview questions

Only one 30 minute Zoom interview before references were requested a couple days later. After that, it took nearly a month to get rejected. I assumed I wasn’t chosen after about a week of no response, but I still would have appreciated an answer. I also let them know I needed an answer within about two weeks because I was considering accepting a promotion at my current job, but they did not respond to that email. I am assuming that they asked several candidates for references instead of one or two finalists, which would be a waste many people’s time, including their own. I am disappointed in the lack of communication and respect for my time.
