Job interview and no one turns up

Izzy8484

This morning, I had a second interview with a 30 minute presentation and none of the interviewers were there.

Receptionist told me there has been a mix-up with HR as they would usually be there. I checked my emails and the time was definitely right.

I am super keen on this job but can`t believe I stayed up all night with really bad nerves just to get there and not being able to do my presentation.

I left after a half an hour wait leaving my number.

Has this ever happened to anyone here?

Yep
I got left in reception for 40 minutes and was just getting my stuff together to leave once.

Yep, had an interview and the interviewer changed last minute but no big deal. Arranged a medical at the same place, turned up and was told the room was 'double booked' and would be available in 30 minutes...hung around for almost an hour and invited in they told me the medical would take about an hour.

Seeing as I'd gone there in my lunch break I politely declined and rearranged, against my better judgement I took the job...and left 2 months later...

I had an interview once where the guy I was supposed to meet was in a different city interviewing candidates for the same job. One of the other directors "interviewed" me at a table tennis table.

Did he interview you while playing a game?

I waited over 40 minutes once for the two interviewers to turn up smelling of alcohol.

I once did a half day of tests for an NHS job. Went to the interview next day to find the interviewer wasn't going to come. Was sent away with a promise of a futher date. Never did get another date and decided that I didn't want to work for that person anyway so didn't push for a date.

That's pretty unreasonable, I reckon it would only take me 20 minutes to turn up smelling of alcohol. Allowing five minutes to get to and from the pub.
