How should I feel?

20 December 2012, 15:30

I applied for a job, waited two weeks to hear anything, then received a rejection letter, then three days later I get another email saying they'd actually like to interview me!

Company sounds like it can't get its crap together, so suspect they're mickey mouse outfit.

What should I now do as the candidate?

The boss sounds like a bed wetting pansy who can't properly instruct HR in how to deal with the job applications

They offered the job to someone else, they accepted but changed their mind or didn't turn up.
