This happened recently for an interview at Residence Inn, near Dulles, and happened to my S/O, who I actually encouraged to apply there. I'm going to refer to herself as first person, as it's easier to write.
…
The position I applied for is nothing fancy, but for housekeeping which I have plenty of experience for and am very good at it with raving reviews from renowned hotels (including 5 starred hotels) from other states. Since I am currently studying again to switch careers, I thought of working part time as a housekeeper to help with bills.
The position they have open required only part time. No other requirements whatsoever. And when applying online, I indicated that I'm only available on Weekdays, early mornings and mornings. This schedule is viable for me since I'm taking evening classes and need to study over the weekend.
I applied around at 8PM, and got two back to back calls from GM and the assistant next morning, not even 14 hours later. So, seems like they needed me!
On the interview, we go through the questions, which are the usual. However he seems extremely bothered but he is sort of trying to hide it. 30 minutes into it, and the interviewer who identified to be the assistant manager, or ass-man, tells me that while I seem to be the right fit for their team, it would however be not fair to the rest of the team that I won't be working weekends. And that in this profession I need to be more flexible and all that sh*t, like I didn't know it from the last 4 years.
So, this person knew all along that I am not available on weekends, yet decided to still call and schedule an interview only to waste my day.
Somewhere on this sub I have seen someone send a bill to the company for wasting their time and I'd really like to do that.
Well, my mode and day is ruined, and I really needed to have that off my chest. So, thank you for coming to me ted-talk.
