I had an interview today. I did not go well. Truthfully, I am overqualified but I'm just looking for something to make a little money and to keep me out of mischief.
This interview was a local place, a big local place, and the confirmation email didn't say where to go for the interview. They do it as a cattle call (group interview) to save time. They ask us to fill out these two sheets that we have on the conference table in front of us. They even passed out pens because these other applicants didn't bring a pen with them. I was the best dressed there and I was only wearing a button down shirt and a pair of slacks.
The first sheet was an availability chart. I put down what I was available currently and what I would be available in July. Currently is some days and some any, July will be any. The sheet even said that if changes need to be made to the availability chart then a manager must approve it. The interviewer sees my limits from across the table and asks me if I can change it. No, my wife has a career with longer hours so I must work around that for my children. Okay, put your phone number on the top and give it to me.
That's it, the interview is over for me; she even told me that I can go. She did tell me to give her a call when I'm more available. And then she ignored me. I worked in topless bars and I gave more respect to my applicants. That's pretty sad.
