Interview Went Wrong

     Last Thursday , I had applied for an office staff that I had found in jobstreet, and the day after I have received a notification that I have an appointment on the next day which was Saturday. I was so excited when I received their letter that I hadn't even doubt whether it was real or not, so after reading and re - reading it, I sent a reply telling them that I'll be coming, until it hit me that tomorrow is Saturday.

     I wonder if they did even have office on Saturday? So, I checked the schedule given to me again, yes, my eyes didn't fool me. It was really Saturday, as a job seeker of course I'll risk it and it won't harm me anyway if I tried it, right? So I take my chances.

    I took an off from my present job and headed to that interview. I was so prepared until I came to their office. The security officer had told me that they didn't have any offices in weekends and he even suggested that if I want I can wait, so I wait. I even tried to message them through SMS and gave them a ring, but no one answered me, so again I waited. 5 mins passed... 10 mins... 20... 30... Until an hour passed by but no one came so I decided to leave.

    I had sent an email to the management telling them that I have waited and everything was a misunderstanding, because I didn't want to sound like I'm a hypocrite. After sending that letter, I wonder, would they still give me a chance or should I say will I give them a chance for getting my hopes up? After too much waiting I decided to leave. I was dejected because I thought that finally I would have a job that suits me best, and my skills and talent won't be compromised, and yet I expected too much. What I learned that day, I should have confirmed everything first, so that in the end I won't be a cry baby and a young fool.

    Now, this company keeps sending me message and telling me that I should just ignore what happened. I think it wasn't professional at all that they didn't even apologize for the inconvenience that they have caused or for the wrong scheduling of interview. So now, I kept on declining their offer because they were not worthy to be an employer since they didn't value the time of their future employees.
