this shit is infuriating. the amount of extra stuff like this that employers demand is just :agony-consuming:
For your next interview show up the night before.
If it's not open, just take the initiative and let yourself in and wait.
Real go-getters bring their own crowbar. Or show your in-the-moment problem solving skills and use a rock from the parking lot.
Got denied a position I was fully qualified for and was the only applicant for. Got hired in an internship elsewhere in the company. Attended a post-internship recruitment lunch whose “keynote speaker” (hardly) was the dude who interviewed me for the first position. His advice? “I don’t hire anyone if I can see the white of their fingernails. Shows lack of attention to detail.” Lol fuck that guy
Nah he apparently checked for bitten nails vs clipped nails. Eyes of a hawk this ghoul
Maybe he was concerned that his employees would unionize and construct Naglfar? Seems like a perfectly reasonable fear to have.
Not I. He also required people be sitting at their desk and waiting to clock in a 9:00 am on the minute
Everyone has whites on their fingernails visible, even just after cutting (unless you cut into the body of the nail which is unpleasant at best)...
i chew my fingernails really far, i dont have a white unless i let it grow. doesnt really hurt anymore i guess i killed the nerves
Love that he doesn't hire any feminine women. (or other genders, rock those long fingernails!)
I've done interviews for companies I've worked at before, and it's always astounding to see how absolutely clueless they can be.
Like, dafuq does all this shit have to do with the job at hand? You need an ass in a chair and 8 hours billable a day. Everything after that is astrology for dweebs.
"Your time isn't valuable, play my weird signalling game while I jack-off in my office."
My last employer gave me shit for this. I started clocking in when I got to work and they stopped complaining pretty quickly because I was always at my desk working diligently before anybody else arrived. They also fired me because the overtime rounded up for some reason, but I did this for a year and it was absolutely worth it
the invisible hand of the one true god in heaven above forever and ever
The shitty little attitude they add to it with the phrasing too, "Maybe arrive a little earlier," honestly I'd burn that bridge and reply back with an insult for the obvious contempt they have for my time, fucking pricks.
Yeah it's a bad one, hard to say how many new Glassdoor accounts this one's going to take.
What did you send back? I hope you sent them back something.
I once went to an interview for a cafe job. The owner didn't show up and eventually after an hour of me waiting for them to arrive they said they couldn't make it.
They then called me back and asked me if I could do the interview the next day. They, again, were late, and eventually called and asked me to be interviewed by the assistant manager that was there.
He would hardly speak to me. The interview consisted of no orientation, no interview, no instructions. He just told me to serve customers. Obviously, I didn't have a clue what they sold, where any of their supplies were or what their procedures were because I had no fucking orientation. Afterwards, they said they didn't want to hire me because I was too slow at cleaning the tables. They got a full days work from me for free. I wish I had sent them a bill.
They never once asked me to make coffee. It was a barista position btw.
Preface: I found a new job, just 5 weeks between severance running out and working again, so not too bad.
I had a phone interview a few weeks ago, it was scheduled for 1pm, she had specifically mentioned central time. I look at my phone about 1240, make sure it's not do not disturb and see i missed the call at 1230... I call back and she tells me she has another call scheduled, she can't do the interview. I check, "are you talking about my interview?, it's scheduled for one" she acts like she was confused about time zone. (You called 30 min after it was scheduled?)
Anyway, just ranting.
