8.10.19 13:57 It's been a weird day for email. Medtronic sent me one early this morning with the subject line "Feedback on your Hiring Experience" which is strange because I distinctly remembered them NOT hiring me. It read:

"Hello,

You recently interviewed for Transformation Sr. Program Manager, Knowledge Management. As part of the Talent Acquisition focus on continuous improvement, we would like to invite you to provide feedback on the recruitment process.

To access the questions please click link below. You will then have the option to select the survey in the following languages:
English, Español , 英语, 日本語, Français, Deutsch, Português, Polski.

Completing the survey only takes 3-5 minutes, your feedback is very valuable and we thank you for your time.
Follow this link to the Survey:
[redacted]

Medtronic Global Talent Acquisition"

I dutifully filled out the survey, letting them know I applied for the position on June 1st, received one automated email letting me know they'd received my application, and then had zero contact with any human beings until receiving an automated email September 30th telling me I wasn't selected, meanwhile seeing the position be relisted two times AND appear to still be open. I decided to rate them a 0 out of 10 for that experience.

Looks like they may have sent me the email that was meant to go to whomever they hired (because the "To:" line reads "Turner, Brian J Transformation Sr. Program Manager, Knowledge Management" and Christopher R. Zimmerman isn't Brian J Turner) - hopefully they don't do that to anybody else.

"Dear Christopher Zimmerman,

Thank you for your interest in the ITS4 Knowledge Management position with MNIT Services and the State of Minnesota. The posting has been cancelled and will be reposted in the near future. Please watch the Careers website if you are still interested.

For current openings with the State of Minnesota, please call the Job Information Line at (651) 259-3637 or go to: www.careers.state.mn.us.

Note to Veterans: The email serves as notification per the requirements of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 43A.11, Veterans Preference.

Again, thank you for taking time to apply and your interest in working for MNIT Services and the State of Minnesota.

WOW. Guess they didn't hire either of us.

It took them five months and five days to decide not to fill that req.

I suppose I'd apply again but I may be too busy with the new job to talk to them by that time.
