i am really p*i*s*s*e*d right now. remember the job interview i was invited to 4 weeks ago and that was supposed to take place in less than 2 weeks and that i took private portuguese lessons for (paid with money that i don’t really have)…remember that? well, i got an email today saying that i am not invited anymore and they thank me for my application etc.
UH! what? wait a minute, did i miss a memo? what in the world is going on?
i will call tomorrow and i don’t want to blame anyone just yet. BUT when you are so far along in the application process (they have my full medical history as it is required for the medical check up that was planned for day 3 of the interview) don’t you (meaning i) deserve a phone call instead of a flimsy email? with all the cultural and social competences and skills they want, isn’t it to be expected that they have those skills as well and are wo/man enough to pick up the phone and say that in a more personal way?
that really set me back and i am frustrated. talked to a friend and she got it quite right: my trust is slightly shaken and i wonder what would happen if i sit somewhere in the jungle and have a problem or some event is planned. do they just send me an email saying “well xy but thanks for your interest!”.
don’t i as the applicant deserve some respect as well?
your opinion appreciated!
