Useless Interviews

So dont you hate when you go for an interview and the interviewer just cant tell you that you dont get the job! Plus on top of that they still sit there quizzing you when they know your not right for the job. Well today I woke up early got in the shower and spent a good hour getting ready for my interview. So im all done and get in my car to get ready and rush to the interview so I'm at least 10 minutes early to make a good first impression. I arrive at the place that took me 20 minutes because it was across the city to find that I went the wrong way! I turned around and finally found the place I was going, once I found the address I tried to find some parking which made me end up going in circles and circles around a parking lot and have me to pay $1.50 just to park for a good half hour. Once I park the car 6 floors down from where I was going I walked up to the fire exit to go upstairs only to realise that the elevator was broken! I ran up the stairs my heels clunking and me slowly starting to slow down because it was 6 floors. I finally made it to the top and up to the place where I was spose to be. I finally met the interviewy and we chit chatted up a storm finally caculating to her leaving me at well.. we will call you.. Well thats just great I spent $10 in gas just to be here $1.50 just to park here and a half an hour spent on you telling me the words you almost always dread "Well call you" well I'll tell you was I aggravated its like why cant you just tell me "Its not for you", "YOU SUCK"! Well thats all.

That sucks!

My worst interview was after I got out of the Navy in San Diego and had to ride the trolley from where I lived to about a mile from where the telemarketing job office was. I had a 9am appointment and I busted my butt to make it on time, including briskly walking that last mile to the office. I arrived a tad early, but the manager with whom I had the interview didn't even show up until 9:40. On the plus side, it did give me a chance to cool down from my walk. The guy finally waltzes in and motions me to his office without even so much as a sorry for wasting my time. The interview didn't go all that well because he did a role playing interview with a script that he expected me to SHOUT into the phone at whoever I called. The Navy didn't exactly prepare me for reading out loud, much less following a script and shouting, so I didn't get the job. Yes, I was pissed that I was inconvenienced, but I took solace that I probably wouldn't have liked the job anyway. I ended up being hired at another telemarketing company closer to where I lived and only lasted a month. All I can offer to you is to consider that you will get a job where you are supposed to work and that the interviewer probably did you a favor. Welcome to Xomba! DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?
