That sends a GIANT red flag up for me.

Considering the fact that they sent ME a recruitment letter, which is the only reason I interviewed with them in the first place, they really didn't do a good job with the follow-through, now did they?!<BR/><BR/>Buck - Exactly. Lots of little things I noticed at the time have been niggling at me, making me think I should probably be counting my blessings right about now.Christina RN LMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260505524676910667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-74670516514123466502008-09-08T01:01:00.000-04:002008-09-08T01:01:00.000-04:00I'm at the point now that if they called me tomorr...<I>I'm at the point now that if they called me tomorrow and offered me the job, I'd tell them to fuck off.</I><BR/><BR/>Yep.

We walked back to the HR office, and the VP told them I was the person they wanted to hire. <BR/><BR/>HR told me they would call with the offer. Nothing. They never called. I called several times, and even showed up (the HR person was "out of the office"). The company went under 4 months later.10%https://www.blogger.com/profile/01465263028137447310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-26281808923817555362008-09-07T22:07:00.000-04:002008-09-07T22:07:00.000-04:00Sonia, doesn't it make you wonder, "Just how bad W...Sonia, doesn't it make you wonder, "Just how bad WAS I?!"<BR/><BR/>Losers.<BR/><BR/>Putz - Don't you know by now I'm always right?Christina RN LMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260505524676910667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-80103529904648365962008-09-07T12:39:00.000-04:002008-09-07T12:39:00.000-04:00rightrightPutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480109111920196513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-88155253883884087072008-09-07T11:47:00.000-04:002008-09-07T11:47:00.000-04:00I had the same thing happen when I interviewed for...I had the same thing happen when I interviewed for teaching jobs last summer. At one school, I called two or three times and left messages. Honestly - how difficult could it be to politely let me down?!
