How An Interviewer Fails An Interview
I am currently searching for a job. I currently work full-time, so I need a bit of notice when it comes to interviews.
One day, I come back from lunch and sit at my desk. My mobile phone has been ringing continuously and it’s all from the same local number.
Calling back, I’m greeted by an irate and rude man telling me there is no way that I will ever work for his company! How dare I?!
As soon as he stops shouting, I ask him what his problem is. He quickly tells me that I missed a job interview that afternoon. I search my call history and email and inform him that this is the first time I am hearing from him. I have never even been invited to an interview.
Suddenly, the man goes sheepish as he realises what has happened.
It transpires that he had organised an interview and had spoken to HR, the team, and everyone in his company. However, he had neglected to actually tell me about the interview.
He then tried to rearrange an interview… after shouting at me and calling me a b****. I said no.
I’d say I dodged a bullet there.
