Really? Really. CANDIDATES STILL BEHAVING BADLY - just another day in the life.
You and I had a telephone appointment that we both confirmed in writing. I phoned you at precisely our agreed upon time. You answered the phone as if I'd just interrupted your favorite Oprah rerun and you'd done nothing to prepare for our call. Really?
When you use my name so frequently in our conversation that I begin counting, it's not going to go well for you. I KNOW MY NAME. I don't need you to say it every other sentence. Really.
You and I had a telephone appointment that we both confirmed in writing. I phoned you at precisely our agreed upon time. You answered the phone while walking down a crowded city street amidst blaring horns and you asked me who was calling, then you asked me to read you the job description again because you weren't in front of your computer. Really?
When you apply to my postings and I take the time out to respond via email to request a telephone interview, maybe you should take the time to regularly check your junk and spam filters in case that's where my reply to you ended up. It's been known to happen. Really.
You and I had a telephone interview. It went great, so as a part of the hiring process I sent you a list of questions as a writing assignment to help us gauge your communication style. You sat on it. I followed up four days later to be sure you'd received it, and you said you have it and you'd get to it soon. That was over a week ago. Really?
When we have a confirmed phone interview, it's probably not a good idea to leave the baby in her high chair and sit right next to her while we discuss the job. Really.
