I am exasperated. I worked SO hard at these last four interviews. Then to have the company owner switch the role on me in the final interview? What does this say about this company?

The Director of the department I would work in had told me that the company needs to not just hire bodies to fill roles, but that they also need quality people. I am putting two and two together and am getting the sense that he was speaking of how the company owner operates -- it seemed that the owner just wants to hire bodies to fill immediate needs vs. hiring the right person to fill that need.

This is because the owner asked me about my qualifications regarding a different role for which I am not fit. My skills match the role I'd been interviewing for up until this point, not this more immediate need.

I just don't understand how a company can interview a person for one role for the 1st three interviews, then switch their needs in the final interview of the process. I had applied for a senior level position, and that's the position I had expected to discuss with the company and is what I prepared myself to speak about.

He really threw me for a loop when he asked me all sorts of questions about my other skills where I am seriously under qualified. It makes me not trust the owner's judgment and decision making skills.

I don't know how I feel about this company now, but I really need a job and ASAP. Things in my marriage are bothering me, I am thinking I really may need to divorce, and I need a job fast so I can figure all that out.
