[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  So the answer is yes. . . .I blew the interview because I was not offered the job.  I received a message on my phone saying that they hired someone else and wished me best of luck.  Even though I was not really surprised I had a glimmer of hope that I would still be offered the job - I am so disappointed in myself for messing up this opportunity.  I did this to myself because I truly believe that I would have gotten the offer if I had not said what I did.

Anyway, here is where it gets a bit weird:  After I received the message that I did not get the job I thought it would be best to be professional and thank them for the opportunity for the interview.  I also wanted to receive honest feedback from the interview and planned to ask why I was not offered the job (I wanted to hear it personally from them).  I called the woman who left me the message and she answered the phone.  When I told her who I was she hung up the phone!  I thought we might have been disconnected so I called again and the call went to her voicemail.  I left a message saying I was sorry that I did not get the job and had a question and asked her to return the call.  I did not receive a return call today.  I am so confused as to why she hung up the phone on me!  It was extremely unprofessional and I am even more upset about that incident than not getting the job![/quote]

It's not weird or confusing. You called her back and she didn't recognize the number right off, picked up, recognized your voice, thought "oh crap! I don't want to talk to this woman .... she probably wants to ask lots of questions I don't wanna answer" and she hung up.

She isn't going to return your call and frankly I think it's weird that you think she was going too.  [/quote]

OP here.  I actually don't think she is going to return my call.  At this stage I would be very surprised to hear from her.  She is the Director of the department that I was applying for, not an HR employee.  I realize that I messed up my interview (big time) but do not think I deserve to be treated without any respect.[/quote]
