      @Broark:

      This happens way too often. Sorry it happened to you as well.
      I had a second phone interview today for a new job, hoping that doesn’t happen again.

      Ugh. Phone interview are the worst.  I've only had one, and it's an experience I hope to never repeat.

        I find the whole recruitment process to be really dispiriting. I tend to work as a contractor / freelancer, so I go through it a couple of times a year.

        I normally find that agents talk me down (you're not good enough for this job / rate), potential employers or clients are really demanding (they want a lot of recent experience), the recruitment process involves jumping through some significant hoops (I've been sent technical tests that will take several days to complete), and you often get turned down because of fairly arbitrary reasons.

        @David_pll I had a face-to-face interview a fortnight ago. I haven't heard back either. 😞

            Thanks guys.

            I have to agree, the process can be very disheartening. Luckily I’m working at the moment, just looking for that next step up. I find it unprofessional to not get a response either way, doesn’t seem quite right.

              2 weeks and no word either way? That’s shitty. I bet that shittiness is mirrored across the board. That company and or person will get their just deserts eventually.

              Maybe so. Maybe not

                  I agree.

                  I also think that any company asking you to spend hours or days on a pre-interview test is also screening themselves out of contention. 🙂

                    My lord. Wash your hands after you piss. Especially if your at a restaurant. Especially if you’re sharing food and a pitcher of beer with your friends and family. I estimate tht 60% of men don’t wash their god damned hands after a piss. WTF is wrong with you? No one wants your  pissy dick hands anywhere near them. You know who you are. Do the right thing neanderthal.

                      Unless your at the Liberty in Austin. Then piss is cleaner than anything else you’d touch in the Water closet.

                        Same goes for guys that piss all over the seat and leave skidmarks in the toilet. I've also encountered a weird thing where some guys leave some mystery ass residue on the seat that makes my skin crawl. Absolute slobs

                            I've become ocd about handwashing. I always look at the bathroom door handle and wonder if the last person out washed up before leaving.

                              The answer is no they haven’t. 60% of the time any how. I walk to the bathroom door with a paper towel. I work at a Restaraunt And more than half of the guys who leave don’t wash.  OCD? Maybe. Want to label me? Ok. But I know I my hands are clean when I bring you you request a fork and knife for your pizza… which is a whole other discussion.

                                  this is a very popular and passionate discussion in the state of Connecticut. i live in the "pizza triangle"…. im fairly certain people have been stabbed, with said " knife and fork", while having this "discussion." to each his own i suppose....

                                        Do they charge extra for that (or do you)?
