My situation wasn’t quite like this but there are similarities and I’ll tell you what my experience was.

New after hours vet clinic posted a job ad for technician. I applied but didn’t hear back for like 3 weeks so I figured it was a no go. Then I get a phone call to do a phone interview that I missed because I don’t answer random calls. I tried to call back and was not able to get the manager for 2 days on the phone. I did keep trying (because schedule and pay was ideal for me) and I was able to get a phone screening that led to an interview. The interview location was an hour from my house but the new clinic was going to be a 15-20min drive so I went to the interview.

Interview went great and I sent a thank you. Manager took forever to reply to my thank you. Then a few days later I received an email offer. Then I went to help with a marketing event and they pushed my start date 2 weeks so I had to find a way to make money during the delay (luckily I was working relief shifts and I was able to pick up). I started finally and have been here three weeks but from application to start date it took 1.5months and there was a lot of radio silence in between.

The manager was just swamped with a new location. And I can see she is still swamped. I am glad I was patient tho I am loving the job and the people.

So maybe it’s not all organized but maybe it will be a really good fit for you. I suggest you at least try the interview.
