    Interview with Bob

    Had an phone interview arranged with Bob last Thursday

    They called 2hrs before saying they interviewer couldn't make it because of an issue on client site, fine, so can I do it on Monday, OK.

    They called later that day and said could I do it Friday instead, again OK.

    Then call a hour before time, can I now do it Monday again, mmmm OK

    Got a call from Bob on Monday, asking why I didn't dial into the interview on Saturday!!! And can I instead make an interview on Tuesday.

    I dial into the interview on Tuesday, no one there. Waited for 10 mins, and then e-mailed to ask why no-one was there, they said sorry and can I make an interview today.

    FFS - How hard can it be!?!?! spank:spank:spank:
    Politicians are wonderfull people, as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, like working for a living!

    Er, how do you think working with \ for this client will be? Organised? Methodical?

    I'd say keep looking!
    I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

      Bob's a good guy, but manager Bob can be a bit random at times especially if big tash Bob is putting him under pressure.

        I take it that you had it confirmed in writing?
        If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

          Plenty of interviews arranged, much cheapness

            It depends on whether you were dealing with Bob, or Bob, or Bob.

              Give it up. It will be hell working for them. I made the mistake of accepting a role after being stood up on two occasions for phone interviews. It was the most disorganised, annoying place I have worked for. Wish I'd never taken it. From now on I pull out of roles if I get stood up (only happend once since)

                Back when Bobs were real Bobs.

                  Had a Bob ring several times, freaking my wife out a bit by his persistence. Not sure if he was an agent Bob, but insisted on my time for survey purposes. Difficult to understand, his Bob accent. When I pointed out we were under the TPS and should not be contacted, Bob feigned ignorance. I asked where he got our info from, Bob said something non-understandable. I told Bob not to ring again, Bob said "if you give me a few minutes we'll not ring again".

                  I think Bob has learnt a new English phrase, along the lines of FOAD.

                  Anyhow, Bob will soon have fun if Bob does that again, as someone has bought a shiny new whistle...
