I had an interview with Macy's last Monday for a seasonal retail sales position. My interviewer did not show up for some reason so I was interviewed by a sub who happened to be a manager of a different department. The interview itself went awesome and I was immediately offered a position. He told me he would call me on Wednesday with the hiring info. I told him that I would be going out of town on Wednesday so he said he'd call me at 11:30 am before I left.
He ended up calling at 10 while I was in the shower and I missed his call. In his message he told me he'd call me back early next week to schedule training. I called him on Tuesday, but got disconnected so I called back and asked for his voicemail and left a message. When I didn't hear back today I called HR and explained the situation and the HR woman told me I wasn't anywhere on the list of hired applicants. She then told me a few hours later that he is waiting for a position to open for me and will call me soon.
I applied for an open position so that should not even be an issue.
I feel like if I were only interviewed by a normal interviewer, this entire situation would not happen, but since I was interviewed by someone who may have never interviewed anyone before, it's gotten messy and disorganized.
I think I probably should stop calling and just let him call me (which he probably won't) while continuing to look elsewhere. It's just frustrating because I was told I had this job and was pretty excited that I finally got something.
What do you think?
