So I get a call yesterday for a job I had applied to. It was in the town where I grew up (about 4 hours away). We have a good phone interview for 20 minutes. The guy asks me to come in for an interview the next day. I get my ass in gear, change my schedules, and drive 4 hours to stay with my parents. I wake up this morning and start getting ready for the interview. I remember that the interview locaction is right in the middle of downtown, so I email the guy asking about their parking situation. This is their response.
"********. The position has been filled. Thank you for your inquiry.

WTF, why tell me to fucking interview if you're just wasting my time and gas money.

:wtf That sux dude, sorry. :( I believe this is why people go postal. :wag

They didnt even apologize. I want to respond with a firm email about not being professional, is it worth it?

I'd say it'd be good to let them know that this is unacceptable and completely unprofessional yes, just don't expect to get anything out of it monetarily speaking.

Yeah, that's not cool at all.

Sorry to hear that but did anyone else think this thread was about getting laid before an interview to calm your nerves?

:lol :lol I was thinking something along those lines when I saw the title.

I also read the title as something a bit different

I wondered if the OP was a young woman trying to be cast in a movie.
Also, couches.

OP, that has the same shit that I have become accustomed to in my time spent unemployed. Earlier this year, I had an interview scheduled with a CPA firm in Chicago (it was called Professional Practice Consultants if anyone's interested) a full four weeks in advance. It was scheduled for a Saturday. I even called the week of the interview to confirm, since it had been awhile and everything was good to go. Then I get a phone call on the Friday afternoon before my interview, saying that they are too busy, but they still want to interview me. I keep calling every few weeks to say that I am still interested, and they keep saying that they want to interview me. After a few months of that bullshit I finally stopped calling back and figured that they were stringing me along.
Also, for all you Kalamazoo natives out there, don't expect to hear anything from Cole & Co. (CPA firm). I have interviewed there twice since last fall and they have yet to send me any type of correspondence about whether I got the job or not. I have followed up with phone calls, only to get an answering machine and never receive anything back. This is unprofessional and twatish in my book.
On the flip side though, I interviewed at Dart Container in Mason, MI and they sent me 2 mileage and expense reimbursement checks totalling $140. It sucks that I didn't get the job, but at least they made it worth my time with those checks.
