      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...

      I had something similar happen to me once. Had a recruiter contact me for what looked to be a great job. Went through two rounds of interviews with the team leader and then a VP, only to have them back out saying that the position didn't materialize. I assumed I had messed up the interview somehow and went on with my life. About 5 months later I saw the position pop up on some job boards so I applied. A brief interview with the VP I had seen 5 months earlier and they immediately sent me an offer. It turns out that the VP was neighbors with my old boss at the time. He didn't realize it until the second interview and didn't want to "poach" me from his neighbor. When I had applied (instead of them trying to recruit me) it was all he needed to tell his neighbor "sorry but he approached us".

        Because they somehow lost all their chairs? :~

            He is from the UK, John. You are prescribing Texan medication, when all he really needs is a nice cup o tea, and a crumpet or two. :-D
