The first role I interviewed for had 5 stages: 2 calls with HR, 2 calls with 2 different directors, and a panel interview where I was asked to give 2 presentations. One was on an ESG solutions project I had delivered, and the other was to present a proposal for an ESG solution. This was a lot of work!

After I presented, I was told I was not selected because:

• I couldn't answer a question on the inner procedures of the company.
• If I were willing to show my previous work, I was a risk with their IP (I did not present anything that wasn't public knowledge).

After this, I gave feedback to the company on how 5 stages was a bit much and the ask for so much work to be done (effectively giving my ideas for free) was questionable.

After this, Workiva asked me to interview for a different role, where they said my skill may be better suited. They said it would just be one 'final stage' as I had gone through many other interviews before. I was delighted at getting a second chance.

However, when interviewing for this other role, they suggested, actually, a different role may be better – just one more final stage. And then this happened again, until I said 'no' because the process was taking up so much of my time and energy, and I wasn't sure what extra information the company could possibly ask of me! I lost track of how many roles I interviewed for!

I feel that Workiva made me a running joke, passing me from department to department with many of the 'roles' I had interviewed for, which had not been planned out yet. I have been left feeling humiliated and embarrassed.

Each individual I met along the way seemed extremely kind and friendly. I felt they were my kind of people and a team that I could have fit in with. But no offer materialized.

The experience has left me questioning what the hell is wrong with me.

What experience do you have working with various different carbon accounting methodologies, including GHGP, PCAF, FLAG, etc.?
