- I applied via a friend of a friend, who works there. - After 1-2 business days I got a call from a secretary to schedule an interview with the head of the department. - The interview was scheduled for 2 days after. - The interview was very good: Good interaction with the interviewer, good vibes, mutual respect, nice offices. - I was rejected due to my high salary expectations. Overall, I had the feeling I was slightly overqualified, even before the interview. - The only bad thing I can say is that HR forgot to inform me of the rejection (which is not an uncommon phenomenon in Israel, unfortunately), so I ended up waiting 2 weeks until I finally decided to contact the hiring manager directly and inquire about the status. He was nice enough to also give a reason, which I really appreciate.
