Dear Best Western people:

Thank you for leaving me with the impression from my interview that you were intrested in employing me. And then continuing to run ads for the positions I applied for. Still offering the $9-$11/hour salary you have no intention of honoring.

Kindly fuck off and die. Bastards.

Unless of course you decide to give me a job, in which case I'm happy to join the team! *thumbs up*

Gah. I fucking hate that shit. You hear "Well, it certainly appears that you're an ideal match for this position, but we do have a few more people to interview," then you get nothing but silence, and meanwhile, they're still trolling. Fuckers. Fucking fuckers.

Take them down :)

Sometimes it does take them a while to take down ads...don't forget to rattle their cage though to let them know that YES, you are still interested in the postion and when can you expect to hear back from them?

If it's any consolation, it's the same everywhere.

A while ago I interviewed for a position with a major financial firm. During the interview I was described as being a "perfect fit". At the end, I was told that they had to interview a few other candidates, so I wouldn't hear from them for about 2 weeks. But the specific skill set they were looking for is so rare, finding candidates is like hunting for blue diamonds. Ergo, my first reaction was "*WHAT* other candidates?"

It's now been 6 weeks, yet they've yet to return any of my calls... one way or the other.

A friend of mine who has been out of work for a year recently interviewed with a Fortune 500 company... they gave him the exact same song and dance.

What it means when they don't return your calls post 2 weeks is that they've hired someone else but they're not positive of him/her and they're holding you in reserve as the second best choice for the position. My advice would be to write them off (unless you REALLY want the job!) and look elsewhere. If that's how they treat their would-be employees.. how do they treat their employees?

My favourite question to ask an interviewer is "Why did the previous person leave?" ^_^ Oh, they might lie, but it's generally entertaining anyway.

I've already written them off...

The job would have paid a bit more than my current one, but at some point in the next 2 years I'd have to relocate to a new office about 50 miles further away. As I don't own a car (nor do I want to), I wasn't particularly thrilled with that bit.

And the bottom line is that my current job is paying quite well, so I don't really *NEED* the extra money. So between that and the aforementioned issue, I got no problem being passed over. I just would like the common courtesy for someone to call and say "Thanks, but you're not quite what we're looking for." No one in business does that anymore.
