Are you out of a job or you looking for one to replace the one you have?

No my current position ends on June 30th, so I have 90 days to find something else.

OMG!!! I am currently looking for a new job too, and the same things have been happening to me. I have had interviews similiar to yours where they make you feel that you have the job, and then they let you know (or don't) that you have the job. Its as if they want you to beg them for the position that you are applying for.

All I can say is been there done that. You are not alone. :wave:

Hang in there!

I hate lots of compliments while I'm on an interview, only compliment me if the job offer follows. I remember not really being into the tour of the department because I didn't have the job yet. I didn't show that I wasn't interested but I think tours should only be for the first Day on the job.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of work you do, TVShow A? I work in a mailroom for crying out loud. It pays the bills though. I posted a topic below about this dude who smokes weed on the job. LOL

Something's up with that. My guess is that you were going to get the job, but something (someone) else came up. We never know what's going on behind the scenes with these things.

You could have had the job locked up, and someone in the HR department's son/daughter lost his job and they offered your position. You just never know.

Jobs taken up by people within the company already is very common. And really frustrating if you're on the outside.

But anyway, I didn't get a tour until my first day. What do I care where the breakroom is if I'm never going to use it? :lol:

EXACTLY what happened to me. Recently I just happened to email a resume to a company that wasn't even advertising. An hour and a half later I got a call for an interview right away as they were "just about to post an ad". Was interviewed the next day by a manager, was told I had a 2nd interview with the V.P. and her again the following Monday. Was given a whole tour, salary agreed on, introduced, told to phone HR with any questions and when I didn't hear back, I called to see what time the interview was and was told they MAILED me a letter saying there wouldn't be a second interview and thanks but no thanks!!
All we can figure is that this V.P. or somebody either already had someone in mind for the position, or all of a sudden they pulled the budget for the position and weren't hiring at all.
As you say, companies seem to be pulling a lot of these stunts these days. I almost feel like saying at the beginning of the interview that you better not be wasting my time!!

I agree with you. I really feel like saying that the next time I have an interview, either you want me or you don't, I'm not coming all that way and spending so many hours just to be told no.

I've been looking for a job for five months now. I had an interview in Manhattan today, but when I showed up at the appointed time, I was told that the gentleman who was to interview me was on a last-minute conference call and I was asked to wait an hour. I left, browsed at a record store in Times Square, and came back with a couple of minutes to spare. I waited fifteen more minutes before I saw him. It turned out well, though; I have a follow-up interview tomorrow afternoon at a regional office in New Jersey. :)

But the delay was still annoying.

I was told I was going to have a second interview too. Never got a call and never got a call, so I called them and was told they hadn't started interviewing for the part-time position. And that was the last I heard! It sounded all positive too because she told me I was the first person that had come in and actually wanted part-time. Go figure HR people.

That does suck! This making you wait and all - reminds me of going to the doctor's at an appointed time and they make you wait an hour - and then still charge you for their time! Like yours isn't worth anything!

Actually I used to see my old boss pull crap like that and I'd be as embarrassed as could be - had to keep making excuses for him and all.

Makes you wonder if you would have wanted to work at a place like that in the first place!

I'm really getting fed up and I've been looking quite a while. Its either this scenario or I'm one of two people and I get the second interview, then maybe even a third and then told the other person JUST squeezed by me. Meanwhile, about 4 - 5 weeks have gone by and you may not want to commit to another offer in case you get the one you really wanted. I'll tell ya - it ain't always easy! :mad:

Hey good luck with the second interview. I had an interview last Friday and didn't get a second interview, not even a thanks for coming in.

The other thing that thas bugged me, is that I get dressed the way you are supposed to go to an interview in your best attire (business/conservative) and there are these people who come to an interview in tennis shoes, flip flops and sloppy dress and they are the ones that are usually hired. And yes these are professional office type jobs not flipping burgers.

Now that I will never understand.

Damn that's crap! I hate it when people get your hopes up like that and all of a sudden that hope gets taken away. :mad:

But don't let that stop you from going to more interviews. Not all employers will be asses. :)

Then again, what the hell do I know? I'm sixteen, filled out seven job applications since November, and NONE of the places called back! I'm always the one who has to call the place! I finally had my first job interview today, but it was a GROUP interview. If I pass that, then I get my own interview. GRRR...I better get hired! :mad:

i have an interview in 2 hours wish me luck

My doctor is like that! And lemme tell you, making a person who gets panic attacks in waiting rooms wait is so not a good idea.

lol...my mom has to do that with her boss. Like yesterday, he scheduled an appointment for 9 and didn't show up until 10:30, so she's gotta keep making excuses. She was NOT happy.

lol...someone upstairs was interviewing for a position, and I'd see the girls come down afterward and I was so shocked at what they were wearing. Khakis and sandals and stuff that looks like somewhere between casual and party attire. And here I went out and bought a business suit.

Group interviews SUCK. And the ones where like, 5 people are all sitting there throwing questions at you.

I actually liked my group interview, but it was so candid and informal. It was held OUTSIDE in the cold windy weather!

That's what I'm talking about!!!! :nod: :yeahthat I mean I'm in a business suit and the others are sitting there like they are ready for summer school. And they are the ones that get the job. :crazy: :crazy: :confused:
