Why each option
When the conditions for a scheduled action are no longer met due to a record update, the pending scheduled action, such as a Chatter post, will be automatically canceled.
The Chatter post will not be sent because the condition 'status is NOT equal to Interviewing' became false after the update.
Scheduled actions are either executed or canceled based on criteria evaluation, they do not enter a paused state.
The Chatter post was scheduled for 30 days later, and the condition for it to be sent immediately was not part of the initial process setup, nor would it be triggered by the status change.
Scheduled actions in Process Builder or Workflow Rules are re-evaluated upon a record update; if the criteria are no longer met (in this case, the status changed to 'Interviewing'), the pending action is canceled and will not execute.
