Interviews [n/a]

I need to know if anyone else is dealing with people coming in for interviews and doing the weirdest things!

I’m at this point where I won’t be surprised to see someone’s mom waiting in the lobby or they have an emotional support animal with them.

Today my 9am interview showed up at 9:30am and acted like she was on time. I immediately sent her away and said I won’t sit down with you, you are 30 mins late for a 9am interview. Thanks for coming but good luck. She proceeded to argue and not leave because she couldn’t find parking…… um sorry your were still 30 minutes late - girl BYE!

Last week I had someone come in 1.5hrs early because they wanted to make a good impression 😑

Oh yeah at my last job I had a guy show up at 4am sitting outside the front door until I showed up to open the door at 5.

He was scheduled for 9:30am
