Interview appointment, no interview??

Published

Hello I just want to share my experience from today. I got a call two days ago from a potential employer and we set up an interview for today. I went in 15 minutes early, as I have always been advised to do. I waited and was not seen, I waited 2 hours and 45 minutes at the lobby of the ALF. The receptionist called at least a couple of times, maybe three. My "appointment" was for 11:30, and someone (whomever was supposed to see me at that point since HR lady was MIA) said they had me for 12:00. Mind you this was said at 12:30 when "she" would be "right down to see me" another hour and receptionist called "I have some here that has been waiting for an interview for two hours". Again some excuse about how HR had not provided them with my resume and application and whomever would be "right with me" after another half hour I had honestly had enough. I politely told the receptionist that it seemed to be a bad time and I was just going to leave. She said she would have HR call me. I left and was honestly very angry and even felt humiliated. I cried in the car of how angry I was. It sucks because I was able to see a lot of residents and staff interact with each other and everyone seemed so happy and friendly. I even got to speak to a resident tha told me how satisfied she is with the care provided and how wonderful of a facility it is. She described it as somewhere I would love to work. But an appointment was scheduled for me and nobody could even come out to tell me they could not see me today for an interview. Maybe I am being a little emotional and not understanding about issues coming up like they do in nursing. But seriously it wasn't just an hour I was waiting. I waited for nearly three! The least someone could do is have the decency to come tell me they need to Reschedule. I don't expect them to call me back after this. Has anyone had an experience similar to this? I can't help but feel a little down since I am so ready to work and this is one of my first experiences during my job hunt. Sorry for any grammar or spelling errors. Thank you for your replies.

I would give them another chance. Maybe there was a change in your interviewer's patient's condition
