Hopefully, This Is Their Wake Up Call

I’m expecting a guy coming in this morning for an interview for a cashier position. About ten minutes before the interview, he calls me.

Interviewee: “I want to reschedule.”

Me: “May I ask why?”

Interviewee: “I just woke up.”

Me: “Okay… and you think that’s a good enough reason to cancel an interview just ten minutes before it’s supposed to start?”

Interviewee: “I couldn’t wake up because I had a fight with my roommate the night before.”

Me: “Okay, let’s save some time, and I can ask you an interview question right now. If you got the job here and you were scheduled for a shift, would you call out, thinking that’s a good reason?”

Interviewee: “I mean… he started it!”

Me: “Good luck in your continued job search.” *Click.*
