A few weeks ago I saw a job post that I was interested in. Life got in the way, and I checked for the post again today and it was gone. Just for giggles, I called and asked if the position was still available. The person who answered the phone said the position was just filled. Oh well, I said thank you.
She screamed, “But wait! We could keep your information on file…just in case!”
“Okay, is there an email address I can send my credentials to?”
“Well, we really like people to come in to fill out some forms. The hiring manager is here in the mornings, so mornings would be best.”
I am interested in the job, and I’m a nice person, so I said okay.
So, for a job that is no longer available, they want me to take time out of my day to come in to fill out their forms? I suppose I should’ve left my name and number and let the hiring manager call me back if they really needed more applicants.
