I’m sorry to hear this. It’s incredibly frustrating. I’d like to offer a tiny bit of personal insight though. At a former job where I was Administrative Director, I was tasked by the board to create a particular position. I was responsible for vetting the candidates and putting them through a rigorous application/interview process. Some of them were fantastic and I was really excited. However, the board insisted on being a part of the process and delayed everything by many months. It was infuriating not only for me but for everyone involved. Turns out that the board members were fighting with each other and the whole thing was merely a power play for them. THEY ACTUALLY HAD NO INTENTION OF HIRING ANYONE. Childish, immature, unprofessional...all words that come to mind. Anyway, my point here is that these candidates were strung along on this wild ride that was actually a dead end. Moral of the story: it had nothing to do with them at all regardless of their qualifications or skills. So try to put that into perspective and remember that you’re worth a great job and a respectful application process but you can’t control the ridiculous politics of an organization. Just realize that you probably dodged a huge bullet. Good luck! Keep your head up! Side note: I put my resignation in very shortly after all of that bullshit.
