1. SOrry we can't hire you, then
2. Please send CV
2.5 I never send a CV
3. Then, an email "when are you available for a phone interview?"
4. Then, "we haven't heard anything from you, Candidate"
5. (WTF??? I was waiting for THEM to respond first!)
5.5 I finally send CV and do the phone interview. Suddenly, after 4 days:
6. Here is your Prelim Offer/Contract
7. Then after I did NOTHING for 8 weeks, "Please update us on your status" (maybe I have no status as I'm not interested)
8. I respond "I have many questions but dont want to burden you with so many"
9. They: please feel free to do so.
10. I do so, generously and without regard to quantity/volume of such.
11. They reply to each, mostly without the necessary info I needed.
12. I do not answer for 6 weeks.
13. They ask for another update on my status.
I do not reply.
etc........
14. The "start date" comes and goes. I think its long-dead. Then.........
15. Email: Dear Candidate, Look forward to working with you. Please update on your visa status.
16. One question: What "start" date???!!! |
