2 buses didn't come, trams were late and it made me confused which day is today. I understand people work on weekends, i did too but for job interviews, i can't, no more. I am not relaxed, i waited entire morning in anticipation, interview was on 5 p.m. I had to go 1hour before, the heat was strong, 93F, which is not much, bot not little too and, yes, someone waisted my time again, thinking i would volunteer for a week and then they will consider if they will hire me or not. No, thank you.

I am sorry you couldn't enjoy you're weekend.I had attended as many as six interviews before I got a job in a company.But actually I wanted to be a job giver;not a job seeker.Now I have a shop and I earn more than my salary for the job.

right? i mean, i compromised one time for some store, this was a receptionist job in a hostel and i thought maybe they would hire me straight for monday (it was a aprt-time job) but no. they said people are leaving the job, especially colleeg students and they need to be cautious so first some kind of volunteering and how hard they convinced me, like i am clueless; in the real world, they are fishy. not my concern they mostly hire college students, don'hire them. simply as that.

We never had job interviews during the weekends, even when people worked on Saturdays.

@grenery8 - It is annoying when you need to wait too many days to know if they will hire you or not.

@LadyDuck and once again, they didn't let me know. i had an interview on monday; they said they will let me know until friday, friday passed and on monday another rejection letter or none. no humanity at all. and i really liked that job.

i mean, i have time but i am under more stress than usual and then, at the end of the interview, they say to me, they have other candidates on monday or next week. i then wonder why i am scheduled for saturday, if they are in no hurry to hire someone. this time it was my last time.

this is my second time and they made me believe they would perhaps hire me sooner and that is why i went there. but no, even if this was a part-time, another some strange stories and that people are leaving the job so they need to be cautious. not my problem that they hire only college students. thank you. i hope so too. it is really getting harder and harder.

I did back in the day. When I was looking for a job, I applied mostly online with online interviews as well.
