Freelancer interview questions

I was contacted on June 26. I had my initial interview on July 3. I didn't hear from them even if I texted them twice until July 15 when they finally replied and scheduled a second interview in two days. Again, I never heard from them again until August 26 (again, I kept on texting them asking for updates and never got a reply). I had my face-to-face final interview on September 2 and was told that I'll get an update during the week. I emailed on September 10 and sent a text the next day. Finally, I got the rejection email on September 13, a Saturday. I bombed the final interview, that's on me, but it's frustrating to go through more than 2 months of application with little to no updates. Only when I visited the office did they apologized because per them, there were more prioritized position that they need to hire. I hope they were more honest and prompt when I ask for updates. I understand that they might be busy but I don't think it's fair to the applicants to just be left in the cold like that.

Email received solicating more info followed by phone call to provide more information in depth on previous experience and than video interview to meet with team. Once you have completed those steps you are able to move on to the next round.
