When I came just for an interview, I was made to wait 30 minutes with hostility and decided to leave the company.
Today’s various business publications are filled with interviews with managers of various companies, large and small, about how difficult it is to find good employees today and how many key vacancies are filled. Of course, this problem exists, but more often than not, companies cause it themselves.
Yes, we are talking about job interviews. The internet is also full of stories about how unprofessional HR managers and bosses behave when negotiating with job candidates. Sometimes you have to go through quests.
For example appeared a few days ago The internet is pretty divided on this one so let’s try to figure it all out together.
A poster was once invited to a job interview and deliberately arrived a few minutes early.

So the authors of the original post say they recently went to an interview scheduled by a manager at 1pm at a local port cargo. One of the company’s office workers said he would have to wait a few minutes. The original poster didn’t see this as a problem as we deliberately arrived a few minutes early anyway.

However, time passed and the HR manager did not show up. After waiting for 15 minutes, the OP decided to check with another manager when the interview would start, only to receive the answer “It all starts soon!” After another 15 minutes, the applicant decides that his time is more valuable than trying to get a job at the company, so he gets up, walks away, and says, “Wait 30 minutes for an interview that someone at the store has scheduled for you. It was unprofessional.”

After waiting in vain for 30 minutes for a recruiter, the job seeker finally left angrily
The original poster claims to have been met with hostility by other managers. The manager explained that an HR employee was having a meeting with his manager at the time, and this was the main reason for such delays. I didn’t think it would be as effective as delaying it for 30 minutes.

The author claims to have attended another interview on the same day and accepted the offer
On the other hand, the OP further admits that he attended another job interview on the same day and accepted an offer from a different company. , and the first interview is late, the candidate is late for the second interview. Additionally, the authors of this post admit that this was not their dream job.

It’s unprofessional to keep job seekers waiting that long, experts speculate
“This situation looks pretty uncomfortable to me. peach art studiowho asked bored panda For comments on stories. “Of course, the wait is unpleasant, but he admitted that the recruiter explained why he was late, and the company may have been interested in hiring them as new hires. ”
“But it doesn’t look very professional to have a recruiter present at a meeting when a job interview is scheduled. Employer’s value in the eyes of the employer will definitely go down.I don’t know how important this meeting was to the company, but the HR manager should probably leave it alone and conduct an interview – at the latest Not very long. In any case, the external image of the company was damaged, ”said Alexey.

Most of the people in the comments agreed with the company exposing themselves as unfriendly and applauded the author for leaving.
Many people in the comments stood by the original poster, arguing that making job seekers wait 30 minutes, perhaps longer, was overkill. , the company underestimated prospective employees from the interview stage, clearly showing that people are not so respected here. I applaud you and am happy to have found you a new job.
However, it should be noted right away that the situation that happened to the author of this story is not the most outrageous.For example, not everyone could even meet the main character this post of us, showed up for an interview at a fairly large hospital.and This job seeker was able to get an interview, but when company representatives learned they were unemployed at that point, their salaries were immediately cut. Either way, I’m glad the original poster found a new job. Additionally, I look forward to your own comments below this post.
