From comments I heard from fellow aspirants and some of those here, its quite likely that the interview and selection process is highly inconsistent.
I really hope that someone can shed some light and help to demystify the whole issue. What are these people looking for and what do they really look out for in a candidate.
In the unfortunate case above, why 9mths of deliberation or pending before typing out an email to inform of rejection? like i said, highly inconsistent practise here.
