Miss Unemployed is back! After a brief hiatus to recover from the insanity of this horrendous job market, I am back to sharing with you the unbelievable things that come out of peoples mouths and emails. Recruiters and a crappy job market can't keep me down!
Two of the more interesting things that occurred during my hiatus involved phone interviews:
1. In the midst of a great phone interview, the interviewer stopped me cold and said "Our hiring managers need to see someone with more tenure." I'm sorry, I was LAID OFF twice! Not my fault! I'm still a great candidate. "I understand you've been a victim." Are you kidding me?!??! A victim? This woman actually referred to me as a victim. Thanks a lot Storgan Manley!!
2. I had a good phone interview for a company I was not at all interested in. Yes. I am desperate for work but something was off... oh, I don't know, my chance for a happy future maybe? At the conclusion of the interview, I said I would be in touch to arrange a follow-up interview. I didn't. Several days later, I receive a letter saying they enjoyed speaking with me but "...we're continuing our search for someone more suited for the position." WTF?!? I didn't choose you!! Was it really necessary to turn it around on me? Thanks for nothing Siderick & Huggles!
