Back in September, I applied to a bunch of job postings that I thought i could do, then I heard nothing.
Yesterday, I got an email from a store I applied to asking for details about my prior experience. Then they called me today asking if I could come in for an interview.
Had they actually given a damn sooner after I first applied, I could have said yes and done the interview.
However, I can't do that now because my Dad has a procedure in less than a week and, due to the anesthetic, he needs me to be with him to make sure he gets home.
So I said no. When they asked when I can show up, I said “Can this wait until November?” and they went “……We're hiring immediately for training for Black Friday and the Holiday sales.”
So I basically told them to just forget me. It won't work out. Despite that, I just got another email from them asking when I can do an interview. I told them the same thing. November.
The other place that emailed me was literally just an automatic email saying “We hired someone else.” and I thought “I don't care!” It had been over a month, I already assumed they had hired someone else.
Why are companies dragging their fucking feet?
