Swimmod_Luna Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 To ask if I was still interested in the position. It wasn't the place that e-mailed me last week that I've been waiting to hear back from, though. I was surprised this place called me back because I thought I bombed the interview pretty badly. I also don't think I want to work there because I'd have to be on-call a lot including on my off days and when I'm on call I may have to drive over an hour to go respond to the call. Also I might have to do a 4 to midnight followed by a 5 am shift. So I don't think I want that shit. Hopefully the place I'm waiting on calls me tomorrow they said "early next week"...

SlappyKincaid Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 I remember going to a place and applying for full-time, interview went well, etc etc, come back later for orientation or whatever, now it's only part time suddenly. Oh. Ok, well, I'm desperate, when do I start? So I might have to start at a 6am shift, but they aren't sure yet. Oh, you'll call me tomorrow before 10pm? Oh, then they didn't call. So I called them, and they still didn't know if I would need to be there the next day. This was for $11 an hour. This is America.

I'd hate having to go in first thing in the morning after working second shift even more.

You need that flowing right to be able to work effectively at all.
Distortedreasoning Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 happens to me all the time. i apply to some place and dont hear till like 3 months in my new job. i'll leave my job if they offer more money otherwise they wasting my time.
tsar4 Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 You may have bombed the interview. But once they interviewed the other candidates, they decided you were better than what they saw afterward. It happens. The last time I interviewed candidates, the one that looked the best on paper spent almost the entire interview telling us we needed to buy some software she used at her previous job. After 5 minutes, I was ready to walk out - but I put up with the remaining 10 min, until my boss got there for her turn. The candidate did the same thing to her.
