Interview phone call... they didnt call, how to react?
So, few days ago I've got a confirmation about time and yesterday at assigned time nobody called from the company. I was waiting for 20 minutes. Then I've contacted the hr, he said he will find out and that never got back from him yrsterday. This morning he sent me an email, without explanation or anything, what happened yesterday and why I wasted 20 minutes of my life in awaiting. Don't feel any motivation anymore for this particular role. Seems they don't value people's time. The company is Apple How you guys usually react for those kind of situations?
In the interview process 2 things are going on. 1. The company is interviewing you. 2. You are interviewing the company. So, based on the results of # No. 2, how do you feel about the company? That's how I react to getting blown off. They failed my interview of them. Screw em. If they're disrespectful to me this early in the hiring process - they'll openly take a dump on me once I'm in the door. Move on and forget about them.
Thank you for your comment. 👍 I agree with everything you said.
Before making rash decisions, understand what happened first. If they simply stood you up, then definitely stand on your ground and look elsewhere. It’s a clear sign of the company culture and how much they value you. If not, and there was a genuine mistake somewhere, let them know and give them the avenue to make an apology. This shows empathy on your end and you get brownie points with your potential employer. Great leverage later. Good luck!
Thank you! Good point of view. :) Good luck to you as well!
Recruiters are usually entirely different from the company in general, I have found.
Yes that’s also true. Had a bad impression of a tech co who tried to headhunt me. He kept calling me totally random names. Like Jack and Brian different. Clearly the recruiter was mass headhunting or just plain lazy. And he turned out to be a talent contractor.
Agreed, the hiring guys are only just barely associated with the company in terms of work ethic and culture. They're generally extremely unorganized with following through on things for some reason. Recruiters ghost people ALL THE TIME, and I'm not sure why the industry accepts this. Companies have no quality control on their recruiters
Could’ve been a miscommunication. Figure out how bad you want it first then determine how much effort you want to put into reaching back out again and rescheduling
Dude, before I joined Apple, twice they did not call me on the designated time. The manager called me randomly later and asked me if I wanted to do testing for him. I know that this guy is the biggest narcissist I have ever seen after I joined Apple and now I know that this guy runs around with his head cut off and he purposely didn’t call me to establish dominance. So you know what to do, run away from these bastards, unless they call you back and express this was a honest mistake.
Depends on how desparate you are to leave your current company...That determines whether you want to forget your self respect or uphold it...
No, I don't want to forget my self respect. :) I want to be respectful person🖐
