Last week I went for an Interview and was told I had the job but the company wouldn't make a proper offer until I'd been referenced. Was referenced within abut 10 minutes of the request and the agent informed me the reference was perfect (like I'd give the name for a bad one!) and they would now go back to the client about the "formal offer". Two days later still heard nothing (although the agent did ring me frequently to say they hadn't been able to get hold of the hiring manager).
Anyway late Friday afternoon I finally get the call, the client has been avoiding the agents calls because they had a late applicant from another route and offered them the job instead.
Great, as if we don't get mucked around enough now we have sneaky clients as well as sneaky agents.
Thankfully the weekend stopped me from being in a bad mood about this but thought you guys might like to know about this wonderful experience of the job market.
