Just had a scheduled interview cancelled 8 minutes before it started.

Yep. A 8 whole minutes before I was about to log in. I was preparing my camera and mic and received an automated email that they had cancelled. They also sent no follow up message explaining the cancellation – I had to reach out to ask. They then proceeded to email me once, call me multiple times, and leave two voice messages (all during the time of our scheduled interview) to request I rescheduled. That's my story for today. Job hunting sucks balls.

Weirdest job interview I’ve had

I had a job interview, if you want to call it that. We started the job interview and the guy asked me what I understand the role to be. I explained it, he tells me I’m a “quarter of the way there” and then proceeded to explain the role (which is exactly what I said the role was, and what I understand it to be) then proceeded to carry on about how I wouldn’t handle the role and that I wouldn’t understand it. I haven’t done this role before but work in a similar field which relates to the role and I have an understanding of the role but obviously there’s some learning to do if I started (which I advised in the phone call prior) as I’m wanting to learn more, I made it clear I’d be new to the role. He then shakes his head at my resume…

Aria LED sign in Las Vegas read “WFH!”

And then it said WORK FROM HERE! And here! And here! And proceeded to show pics of the worst positions at the hotel. If that ain't some dirty shit I don't know what is.
