I worked at UCONN in the past as a respiratory therapist back in 2021-2022 and I reapplied for the posting number 2024-1140 but the status says “not interviewed.” I’m curious as to what the reasoning is since I have more experience now including NICU experience and why I wasn’t as least interviewed. Thanks
