I was supposed to have an interview a week ago Friday (already did phone interview and skills test), but it was rescheduled because the interviewer didn't have time.
It would have been more money, benefits, a great global company, and I wouldn't have to work for my asshole boss.
I got a call from the woman setting it up, figuring it was to reschedule. Nope. They aren't going to bother. They think I have too much experience.
So I would have had an interview if it wasn't rescheduled, but now they have decided that they just don't want me, without the interview.

Is there any way you can argue your case? If you're willing to take the job at the salary they're offering, more experience can't be a bad thing. It's when experience means asking for more money that it hurts them.

Nope. Already tried arguing my case on the phone, saying that it seemed like a great opportunity and I was really interested. And it's only a damn year contract.
I don't know what salary they're offering. I gave her a range before they even scheduled the 2nd interview and I told her it was negotiable. And it's already about as little as you can make at a full time job.
I'm not even that experienced. I don't what could have changed in a week.
Something similar happened to me. The HR dept made sure to keep me updated on the status of a position saying they were interested in interviewing me....long delays but finally they called to say they were holding off hiring for that position. Then the next day or so a job very similar was posted with different qualifications. hmmm.
Sorry, that sucks. I had a company 'writing up an offer, should get back to you by the end of the week' and then never heard from them again. Hiring manager never responded to another e-mail; legit national retail company. So weird.
