I submitted my resume and cover letter on a Sunday, and was contacted the next day by someone who wanted to make sure I was willing to relocate because she was impressed by my resume and wanted to speed up the interview process. We scheduled a phone interview for that week. She said it would be 30 minutes. The interview resembled an in-person first interview. I was asked what I would improve about the web site, what most attracted me to the company, whether anything in the job description concerned me. I thought the interview was going well (given that I am pretty bad at interviews, being very shy and socially nervous). She asked me if I had any questions, and I asked about the company structure and what sort of team work vs individual work was involved. She answered my questions and then she went silent. Completely silent. I started to realize something wasn't going well at all and made one last effort to engage her and sound her out. She responded and then went silent again. Finally, I said "well, I think I've asked all the questions I wanted to ask," and we said goodbye. She said nothing about next steps. It was a terrible feeling, after missing an unpaid day from my current job to prep for this interview. It was my dream job, and I'm fairly sure I was well-qualified.
