I recently applied for a position within a big-box retailer via their website.  I felt that, despite my great qualifications, I was not qualified to apply to some of their upper-management positions due to the volume of store I manage, but wanted to work with the company in a lesser role.  Their recruiter ended up calling me to set-up an interview, but once the phone interview started, he let me know that he felt I was over-qualified for the job I applied to, and that he was interviewing me for one of the upper-management positions as he thought I had the skills necessary.  I politely explained to him the reason I didn't apply for that particular job, but he insisted that I was a good fit.  We went on with the interview and he ended up scheduling me a second interview. 

I ended up going on this second interview, but right away I could tell things weren't going to go well.  I got their early to check in, and once they located my interviewer, it was a few minutes before I was scheduled.  I introduced myself, offered out my hand, and got a blank stare for a few seconds.  Finally I repeated myself, "I'm __ here for the x:xx interview for __."  He told me he was busy and asked me to wait (there were other CSR's that could have rung at the register) so I did for about 5 minutes.  Then he brought me to the back to wait some more, I could tell that he was printing off the interview sheets and my resume right then.  I tried to make small-talk with him, and nothing.  By this time it's about 15 minutes after the interview was supposed to start, and another gentleman was ushered to the back, and my interviewer got animated and asked the gentleman to wait, "I've got to get this other interview over with and then you and I can interview."  During the interview the interviewer did not look up at me once (a pet peeve when I would interview if the applicant wouldn't look at me) nor did he say much of ANYTHING during the entire process.  The interview took less than the time it took me to wait.

I recieved a notice that they were no longer interested, but would keep me in mind as I'm sure a rejection letter always states.  My question is, however, since I want to get in with the company, do I try to call the recruiter back to discuss another job or even to let him know how unfair I thought the second interview?  I recently saw on the job boards that it looks like the second interviewer is leaving his job as it was just posted as an opening on some boards.  I know many of you ask why I would want to work for a company like this, but as it is a big-box retailer, I know that this second interviewer should not be the "norm" when it comes to staffing.  Do I just let the entire company go without letting the recruiter know what happened?  I don't want to come across as sounding whiny that I didn't get the job though, but I would like the opportunity to be considered for a lesser job that better suits my prior experience.  Any suggestions on if I should try to follow-up or not??
