Hi All, The company I had the interview with that I was sweating on came back to the agent today, they are 'too busy, to take anyone on at this point in time', Umm OK why interview someone, leave them hanging over the weekend if you know you are too busy. I am confused as the feedback was I am told 'He is what we need, but we haven't got time to seat him in the firm' :wtf: I do have another interview coming up on Friday...

That's a bugger - but perhaps you are better off out of it. Most likely, they have money problems and don't want to pay what you are worth... But just send a polite "thank you" and if they do find the time later, etc. ... Other wise, good luck for Friday! :thumbsup:

What a moronic statement! X| You're better off not working for them.

Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

My sentiments exactly. Of course, it could also be that they have read some of his lounge posts during the weekend... ;) Just kidding!

Usually I find when companies do this they are covering up a drug smuggling operation and they're looking for a fall guy. :) Seriously good luck on Friday!

You have much experience in that field, have you? :laugh:

Agreeing with some (but oddly, not all) previous posters. If they're this inconsiderate of you now, when they're trying to convince you they're good to work for as much as you trying to convince them you're good to hire - how will they treat you when you depend upon them for a paycheck? For some reason, I'd think their consideration of you will not improve with time. I'd not contact them with any kind of thank-you or otherwise, as the sound of the reply seems to have been through a third party. Let them worry about it. If they're the only port in a storm - sure you'll dock there. If, however, the next interview works out, consider yourself to have ducked a bullet.

That is exactly the problem! You were not sufficiently enthusiastic.

The only answer to this is to start taking out the company's executives one at a time. Make it look like an accident, but not too much line an accident. They'll get the message. Of course, I'm kidding... Or am I?

It's generally a lot easier to get a job if you've already got one! Hence my "thank you" to keep (direct) channels open. Even if they are sunshines to work for, it's unlikely to be that bad in the early days, and a pay packet is a pay packet!

Perhaps they found your Codeproject profile and had second thoughts after realising what type of people you mix with on the internet.
