“Interviews for one job turned into another”
What Actually Happened
I had 3 job interviews lined up, but each turned into a different job opportunity, one that didn't match my qualifications or interests.
What I wish I knew
"To be more prepared for unexpected job opportunities and to not take it personally when job descriptions change."
Advice to Someone Facing This Now
If I could tell you one thing
"Research the company and the role thoroughly before the interview, and be open to different job opportunities that may arise during the interview process."
