Do they think this is funny? Do they think it’s “cool” to openly lie to an applicant??? A CEO of the company told me my resume was being forwarded to HR and she’s call me blah blahy blah.

When he relayed that info to me, it was ten of five our time. Their office overseas was already closed several hours by that time; no email from her asking me when i was available for a phone interview was imminent. You can see right there there is something wrong.

Of course, maybe the person was off that day or had an emergency so no, I would not be high on the list of things to do. But I never heard from her and I tend to believe that guy blatantly lied to me.

It usually is not HR that does this; these are all small rink dink companies and the owner conducts the entire applicant search: reading the resumes, contacting the person, conducting the interview. And these are the people who either don’t know what they want or they’re plain ole bullies and liars.

If this keeps up, how do we get a job and get back to work??? That’s my question.

I’m convinced that the world, or at least the US, is being overwhelmed by creeping stupidity. I see the same ineptitude happening everywhere.

Patent puerile nonsense — who with any sense and maturity says to a job candidate “The HR manager will be calling you…” and it never happened? Who tells a candidate “your offer letter is on the way” and no offer letter arrives???

What’s going on here?

You want to have a laugh at our expense? Why? What is this proving and to what end to what means is this for?

If you want to get rid of a job canddiate, tell them the job is FILLED. That should do the trick.

Maybe the job was never what he claimed it was — and it’s just plain stupid! He could have found a student or a housewife or a retiree who would do it for ten bucks — somebody who doesn’t need a real income per se.

They just don’t have a clue. And usually it’s the high end vice president that writes the ad and interviews. makes you wonder how they got the job they did and how they are keeping it, if they can’t even be concise about the kind of employee they need.

They need to get moving on this; a Living Will, plus making their burial needs known, along with whether or not they wish to be organ donors, is necessary asap.
