Help me

I was eligible for the first round interview for BCG internship. The interview dates were announced, but before I even started the interviews, the second interview was postponed to another date due to an important customer meeting. I had the first interview the next day in the evening (I think our interview ended an hour before work). Early the next morning, Human Resources sent me the following message
 

I hope everything is fine.

Unfortunately, we had to cancel your scheduled meeting on Friday due to a conflict with an important client meeting. We will be in touch with you again after we receive your first round of feedback.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

I went to the interview on Tuesday, this message came on Wednesday, Thursday was a public holiday and when I looked at the application status on the website on Friday at noon, it said interviews in progress, but I looked at it after work hours in the evening and it said application not selected. I guess it changed in the meantime and will there be a second interview or is there anything I can do, could there have been a mistake?

What can I say if human resources doesn't do the second interview? This is my dream and I really want this job. Is there anything I can do?

Hi there!

As stated in the other post, that’s most likely a system error. Reach out to them and check if they already have a new date for the second interview.

Keep us posted, good luck!!

Best,

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about the issue. Regarding your question:

Q: I guess it changed in the meantime and will there be a second interview or is there anything I can do, could there have been a mistake?

This seems like a system error. I would recommend reaching out to HR to clarify the next steps.
