So I applied with a rather large chemical lawncare company for an open position. After interviewing and being told how much they liked me and what I had to offer, I was told to expect a callback for their training school start date no more than 5 days later. More than a month later(just last week actually) my interviewer called me back.
He didn't remember me or any of my information at all or that I had already interviewed until I reminded him. He then told me again how much they liked me and what I had to offer and told me they would call me back in a couple days to come back in for the training. Fast forward to today when I get one of those LOVELY canned email messages telling me that they would not be moving forward with me but that they would contact me in the future if they decided that I was worthy enough.
My question is this, why do companies do crap like this? I hate when I get told how fantastic I am and how much of a good fit I would make, then either never hear from them again, or get the canned denial messages? If you aren't going to hire me, that's fine. But don't go telling me that you ARE going to hire me, tell me how much you like me and what I have to offer and straight out lie to me. That pisses me off and ensures that I will NEVER agree to work for you or your company. I hate being lied to.
OK ranting done, I'm going to go butcher some people on video games to make me feel better.
