Or what about the post where he received a phone call that the interview was rescheduled before he even left and was mad about that? I'm sorry, but I don't feel very bad for him. My heart goes out to those who are really trying to find work.

Just because the OP isn't doing things how you might think they should be done, doesn't mean that he isn't looking for work.

I know of people who WANT a job and are working their butts off to get employed but are struggling.

God help all of those who are so quick to be judgmental. When your day comes, I hope that someone will treat you differently and not as you have treated this person.

Why ask that? Why not just come out and ask her WHY she hadn't sent the email? You felt called on the carpet at 9am, put her in the same position.

If you did all of that then call her a liar otherwise you should get all facts before getting so negative. If you wear your emotions on your sleeve it may come across in interviews.
PERFECT^^ Never assume...It is always better to play dumb and give the other person the benefit of the doubt. And great advice!! Why? Because, if you call back with a positive tone, they might all of a sudden remember why they liked you in the first place.!!!

But, but when you don't edit yourself, and tell people all the lurid things and insecurities that you are thinking, then people will after the 50th time, tell you their opinion.

T.V. guy is working hard, but his negativity is amusing... since facing rejection is part of the package. And actually we all feel as he does at times...that is why it is so funny...;-)... particularly if you are a guy who has never had a problem holding down a job or getting a job, until now...!

And if she says "after further review we decided you are not a the type of candidate we are looking for.................., thank you for applying, but no thank you.

Do your really think you are going to reduce to her stuttering?

This is kind of ridiculous advice... if I was the recruiter, and a candidate copped that kind of attitude with me, I'd be hanging up so damned fast.

You should always be ready to take a phone interview. If you're not, let all calls go to voicemail and call back when you're ready and hope they're still interviewing. But don't be angry because someone interviewed you on their schedule.
