I was contacted by an internal recruiter from AWE and asked to attend a meeting to discuss job opportunities. I sent my CV to the hiring manager and was then asked to apply. I was specifically instructed to let them know once I had applied online so that the process could be expedited, which I did.
I received an automated rejection email, and have had no response from the company despite following up. I feel like my time was completely wasted and that they were not seriously looking to hire me to begin with.
