Job Updates Part 2

Tweet

I'm 0-3 so far. Officially, it is 0-1 but the other two companies sort of ghosted me but I'll reach out to one of these later in the day as they are based in the UK. Job 1, managed to get a final interview with the Operations Manager. She wasn't prepared obviously as she didn't go through my resume before the interview. I've been a supervisor and manager as well and I've had my fair share of interviews. I make sure that I go through the resume of the person that I'll be interviewing. Any clarifications that I have about the person's career, I ask about it. This person basically asked me to go through my resume and was not fully attentive. Midway through the interview, I know I didn't want to work for this idiot. She even asked if I was willing to work a shifting schedule. Now, the job posting clearly said that this is a dayshift account since the company we will be handling is an Australian company. Granted, customer service support maybe 24/7 but the job posting would have that information right? I had asked back if she knew when the 24/7 shift will happen. She said she had no idea. My answer was pretty much that I won't be concerned with it because nothing is final yet. At the end of the interview, I asked when I can get feedback if I passed or not, she did not have an answer for me. Fast forward to two days and I emailed back the HR personnel handling my application for feedback and he got back to me this morning and send I did not pass the final interview. I would have asked for feedback but based on the actual interview, I doubt if I'll get any from the Operations Manager. Job 2, was scheduled for a final interview as well but did not get a call much less a text. Fifteen minutes had passed on the scheduled interview when I sent a text asking if the interview will push through. No reply. Sweet! Job 3, will reach out to them later in the day since they are based in UK so it is still very early in the morning for them at this time. I had submitted my resume to this headhunting firm and also offered to submit resumes of my colleagues as well. Ended up submitting seven other resumes. I got feedback from my colleagues and they were interviewed already last week. Been a week since the last interview so I figured now is a good time to follow up. Not expecting much from this as well but I'd rather know for sure rather than be hanging and not knowing anything. Anyway, submitted a bunch of other resumes again this week but haven't received any feedback yet. One or two of the companies said they will get back to me after two weeks because they are processing a lot of applications. I'm not surprised. Haven't gotten back to my current company because I do not want to deal with them yet. Obviously, they do not want to retrench people because they do not want to give out separation pay. I think they're hoping that people will be tired of being put on floating status and they will just voluntarily resign. Those who resigned will get something but not as much as the separation pay package. Sorry for dumping all of this to you guys just had to get it out of my system. On to the next...
