Sorry to hear that @Megatron1505.
If it's any consolation, I've found that employers don't always have the right idea about what they need, and sometimes want the moon on a stick when it comes to skillset.
Good luck with the next one!

Thanks Mac and Graeme

The feedback I got is that they chose someone with hands on experience of operating CNC machines, I could have argued that is not what they advertised for, and that it has absolutely zero benefit for the role of a Production Manager
It sounds like they have a poor understanding of the position description, so that would just make your life more difficult down the road
-
They are a small operation, they chose a candidate who's skill set matches something which they didn't mention on the job description and who has never worked as a production manager before. Having said that, the company has never had a production manager before and I don't think they really understand what they actually needed. I probably dodged a bullet to be fair.

Investigators in my agency routinely run into this at small manufacturers. When you ask them why do they have a production or a qc manager that doesn't do what they're supposed to be doing, they say "well, our competition has a production manager, so we decided to get one too" or "we attended a seminar and they mentioned that we should have one"
Things usually go downhill from there
So yeah, you totally dodged a bullet

heads up @Megatron1505 i'm sure you'll get another chance!
